Storm in a Teacup is a life affirming musical comedy from the creative team that brought you ‘On Cloud 79’ – an authentic play about living well with dementia (2017-2018), ‘Silver Bells and Cocktails’ – an amusing yet truthful look at life during lockdown’ (2021) and ‘Shaken Rattled and Rolled’ (2022).
Join them and the O’Brien family as we take a nostalgic look at life, love and music in the 70s.
All families are strange! The O’Brien siblings haven’t spoken in years. But when big sis, Angie dies, Tony & Bev have to sort through the family stuff. Remembering the 70’s when they were close brings Angie back. With the help of Morecambe and Wise, Sandy Shaw, Bowie, and David Soul, tears turn to laughter…and Pan’s People dancing. Can looking back help us to heal and go forward? Or are we destined to repeat old, family habits?
Inspired by stories of families within our community ‘Storm In a Teacup’ looks at the petty squabbles that cause major problems. Grudges can go on and on. Angie O’Brien never forgave little sister Bev for not admiring her new kitchen in 2013. Bev hasn’t spoken to brother Tony since he got drunk at her daughter’s wedding. And Tony has been miffed at the pair of them for as long as he can remember. No-one knows why. What happens if it’s too late to make-up?
