Robin & Jane In The Stalls Episode 74 - Tea In A China Cup

This week, Robin & Jane head to Belfast’s iconic Lyric Theatre to see Christina Reid’s unforgettable Tea In A China Cup, running until 30th May. Funny, tender, and deeply moving, this powerful drama shines a light on women’s voices too often left untold — voices that echo across generations. Set in the vibrant heart of Belfast, Tea In A China Cup follows Beth’s journey from adolescence to adulthood across three turbulent decades, from the Second World War through to the height of the Troubles. Through memory, family stories, shared rituals, and cups of tea poured in working-class kitchens, Christina Reid paints a vivid portrait of resilience, humour, sacrifice, and survival.
