Tea with the Dames brings together four icons of stage and screen — Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright, and Eileen Atkins — for an afternoon of laughter, mischief, and reflection. Candid, caustic, and deeply charming, Roger Michell’s film captures the warmth and sharp humour of lifelong friends who shaped British theatre and cinema — and remain gloriously themselves.

Rialto Recommends: Tea with the Dames A masterclass in wit and wisdom. Tea with the Dames is like being invited to the best table in the house — four living legends trading stories with candour, bite, and heart. Proof that brilliance only deepens with age, and friendship, like performance, is an art form all its own.
