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.

Monday Theatre Workshops - Ivan Turgenev

  • Tea House Theatre 139 Vauxhall Walk London, SE11 5HL United Kingdom (map)

As a continuance of successful previous acting theatre workshops, we are, once again, inviting you to another acting workshops’ series. Three consecutive workshops based on the works of celebrated Russian novelist and poeIvan Turgenev.

Ivan Turgenev one of the masters of Russian novel, known as the most Western amongst Russian classical writers. He spent a lot of time in Europe, in countries such as France, Italy, Germany and absorbed eagerly influences of literary traditions on these respective nations. Turgenev was close friends with Gustave Flaubert (author of "Madame Bovary") and spent hours discussing literature with him.

Apart from being a great novelist Ivan Turgenev was also a poet and a playwright. He left us several very influential plays that form his own Turgenev-style theatre. His play "Evening in Sorrento" became a landmark of late nineteenth century playwrighting due to it's originality and experimental form.

During these three sessions we will explore Ivan Turgenev 's unique theatrical legacy in detail.

ALL LEVELS WELCOME. Limited spaces!

No experience needed. Classes will be lead by Dimitri Devdariani, a director.

1 Session £20
