About this movie

From time to time four old friends, all extraordinary actresses, meet up in the English countryside to gossip, to remember and to laugh. For once they let the cameras in…TEA WITH THE DAMES is a unique celebration of the lives and careers of four of our most iconic actresses; Dame Eileen Atkins, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Joan Plowright and Dame Maggie Smith. All four have gone from being fledgling actresses in the 1950s to acting royalty. They’ve watched each other’s careers grow and bloom and have celebrated life’s ups and downs together. TEA WITH THE DAMES invites you to spend time with these acting legends as they talk about their lives and their professional experiences across theatre, television and film.

Ratings and reviews

Within this documentary lay treasures...Dames of soul. Judy Dench has a voice that encompasses infinity in droplets of wisdom that she almost whispers. Maggie Smith oozes a regal air even if she were to sit astride a log and smoke a pipe, she would be the Queen of theatre. Joan Plowright an absolute gift. Eileen Atlins was a pretty girl reminding me to treasure my youth and now my middle age.

How can I watch it from Moscow?
