Some strong language and some anger.
The story of Shakespeare is well known; his brilliance outgrew his hometown, so he left for the glory of London. But what of his wife? How could the wife of the most famous writer be so easily forgotten? Making its United States Premiere, “Tea with Anne” explores the mentality of a woman dealing with the secrets and lies of abandonment; a woman who must ultimately chose between the painful truth and even harsher reality.

Wonderful! It is enthralling to have a performance make you think twice about history- specifically Shakespeare. Giving Anne a modern voice—or a voice at all—this performance made me laugh and it made me cry. Highly worth while to see, I suggest it to everyone.
Overall, I enjoyed this performance. At times there is a threat of overacting. Anne's loud outbursts and melodramatic body language were a bit tiresome; glad it was toned down later in the show.
