Happiness is a Cup of TeaHappiness is a Cup of Tea
Synopsis:
Happiness is a Cup of Tea is a one-woman play, part-autobiography part-character piece: an exploration of grief and bereavement which tells the story of Fiona Nash on the eve of her mother's death. Her estranged sister Leslie has demanded that Fiona write her mother's eulogy, but to do that she must remember. Trouble is, Fiona has a lot of memories she's not sure are memories anymore and actually might just be dreams. Still, she's trying. Though hailed as "one of the most powerful monologues you will ever see about grief" (Carn's Theatre Passion), this is not just a piece about dying. It's a piece about living. It's a piece about a girl who's lost and doesn't know where her home is anymore. It's a piece about remembering loved ones and celebrating them. It's a piece about finding yourself in the most unlikely places. What do we do when we're faced with our own mortality? Have a cup of tea and a sit down for a minute.
