Tea with ‘Riders to the Sea and Some Silly Acts for Thee’

Tea with Riders to the Sea and Some Silly Acts for Thee is coming to the Bembridge House this September!

Come drink the Tea and immerse yourself into three one acts that all weave the generations of a house through three very different families that have lived and perhaps died in this old Victorian home. It will be certainly a Wake at times and come with uncharted waters of emotion yet wickedly funny the next saucer turned. Join us to see who may be touched body and soul.

Enjoy a full afternoon tea service beneath the trees as the first act unfolds on the front porch. Then follow the story inside the historic Bembridge House for a funeral reception unlike any other before concluding in the back garden for the final act—and a special surprise.

Who will live? Who will die? Join us this September and find out.
