WELCOME TO THE TEA HOUSE THEATRE

An independent tea house, theatre and events venue in the heart of Vauxhall.

Housed in a beautiful Victorian former pub beside the historic Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, the Tea House Theatre is a place to eat, drink, meet, work, relax and be entertained.

By day, settle in for exceptional loose-leaf tea, hearty breakfasts, proper sandwiches, homemade cakes and freshly prepared food. By night, the Tea House comes alive with theatre, live music, jazz, poetry, murder mysteries and special events throughout the year.

We are trying to be different. We will not hurry you. If you visit us on your lunch break, then have one — take your time, enjoy your food and go back to work properly refreshed. If you want to have a meeting, we will leave you to it. If you are “working from home”, we have Wi-Fi and plenty of space to settle in.

If you have children, we have highchairs, a chest of toys and milkshakes. We always have the daily papers, so please relax, take a load off and share in what we are trying to create.

There is no rush, no corporate formula and — famously — no coffee. Just good tea, good food, conversation, creativity and a wonderfully individual atmosphere.

Come for breakfast or lunch, spend an afternoon over a pot of tea, join us for dinner and a show, or simply come in and have a cuppa.

The Sun Never Sets…

By trust the process

What is it to be British, to celebrate our great empire? I’m struggling to understand how doing just that has me fighting for my job. All I have are the voices in my head to help wade through the mud of a disciplinary minefield. So I need you to come on over and lend me some good old British pluck. It’s just me and those voices for company, but I’ll liven things up with the odd Great War song, just as Grandfather used to, and with a little luck I’ll both save my job and come to understand how celebrating the contribution of our empire could be so wrong.

Written and performed by Antony Woodruffe, directed by Albert Warner

Content warnings: Age 14+ Themes of race and national identity, minor audience participation

Pretty Little Improvisers

By Pretty Little Improvisers

"I'm still here, b*tches, and I know everything. – A"

Thought you’d heard the last of "A"? In Rosewood, secrets never stay buried for long. Inspired by the ICONIC 2010s teen thriller, Pretty Little Liars, this high-energy improvised mystery is a hilarious homage to THE golden age of melodramatic teen TV.

Our cast spins a web of betrayal, deception, and scandal... all made up on the spot! But for THIS episode, there's a twist: YOU, the audience, will shuffle and deal the cards that decide our villain. Only the actor who draws the "A" card knows their true identity, leaving the rest of the cast completely in the dark. Watch the Liars spend the next 50 minutes scrambling to figure out who is messing with them and threatening to expose their darkest secrets.

Will they uncover the truth, or just dig themselves into more lies? Will we FINALLY find out who was REALLY "A" this whole time? Either way, the drama’s to die for...

Kisses.

Not By The Book Presents: You'll Never See This Again! An Improvised Show!

Come and see a unique show that is shaped by you! Seven actors will take to the stage to improvise a series of scenes, sketches and finally a long form play all based on the suggestions of the audience watching. But it’s not only the actors, there is a live pianist who improvises along with them!

Motivated by a sense of play, the NBTB team strive to bring the audience in on the magic of theatre and to create a sense of shared ownership over what they watch. Audiences say the show is “hilarious” with “series wit in the cast members” that creates a “connection between [the audience] and the performers”.

The cast have a background across different parts of the acting industry and bring a unique perspective to the improv world. They are as keen to improvise comedy or drama, the exciting or the emotional and create shows that leave audiences wanting more.

You won’t find another show quite like this!

Jake Yapp's Cornershop Showdown

Welcome to Britain’s brightest new game show for 1976! Join Jake Yapp (BBC Radio 4, U&Dave, Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe) as he hosts a gleefully shambolic game show set in a 1970s corner shop where one lucky audience member could win a two-hour family holiday for four in North Luton, a Beautiful Porcelain Lady, and of course, FAGS GALORE. It’s a bit like watching an old episode of the Generation Game, only the host is only faintly masking crippling self-doubt, the assistant hates him, and the set is made of cardboard. Ok, it’s EXACTLY like the Generation Game. Expect a total unawareness of political correctness, barely-contained chaos, and a lot of cigarettes flying about.

What people say about Jake Yapp:

‘someone riffing about nothing at a million miles an hour as if their life genuinely depends on it’ - Stuart Heritage, The Guardian

‘clarity, intelligence, and brilliant comic instinct’ - Jamie P Robson, Broadway Baby

’Funny and smart in ways this paragraph cannot possibly convey’ - CHARLIE BROOKER

Theatre Programme Biography

Manthe Penton Harrap

Born in Africa’s Highveld savanna, Manthe was raised on a cattle ranch celebrated for its wildlife safaris and ancient San rock art.  After being educated in Harare, Zimbabwe, and Hampshire, England, she trained at the Actors’ Theatre School under the late Eamonn Jones and completed her LAMDA examinations. 

As an experienced public speaker, actress, and short-film performer who split her work across Harare and London, her notable television credits include Channel 4's The Perfect Pitch and BBC Two's Modern Times: Welcome to Mayfair.  It was on the latter that she shared her signature philosophy: “One should add a bit of sparkle to the world.”  Her community work led to her appointment as the Ambassador to Mayfair—a role she launched with the dual honours of turning on the Christmas lights and performing a ceremonial sabrage. 

Now residing in Fitzrovia with Sebastian, her faithful 36-year-old Green Amazon parrot, Manthe is delighted to make her Shakespearean debut in Thursday’s performance.

Don't Go Into The Cellar!

Award-winning actor Jonathan Goodwin writes and performs this brand new stage adaptation of the classic Edwardian spy thriller by John Buchan, memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock.

First published in 1915, this perennially popular thriller has been adapted by Jonathan Goodwin. He plays man-on-the-run Richard Hannay, falsely accused of a murder he did not commit. He is pursued across the moors of Scotland by the nefarious Black Stone, a clandestine criminal organization hell-bent on plunging the world into a global war. In a race against time, Hannay must evade capture and certain death at the hands of the criminals responsible, and prevent the assassination of a foreign dignitary by anarchist spies.

Jonathan Goodwin is one of the winners of The Hamilton Deane Award from The Dracula Society (former winners include Mark Gatiss and Benedict Cumberbatch).
