A Cup of Tea, A Crumpet and a Gas Mask

The Delvena Theatre Company will be presenting A Cup of Tea, A Crumpet and A Gas Mask at the Dunstable Town Hall, 511 Main Street, Dunstable on Saturday, September 9, at 1:30 PM.

A heartwarming comedy set during the WWII London Blitz.  Meet Mrs. Henderson – an upper-class British woman - who bravely, hilariously, keeps one little theater alive in a very unique way.  Her new friend, Margaret Rutherford, comes to visit, and together they discuss matters of the heart and how to make dreams come true. Though confronting difficult times, all is proven that all you really need in life is a lot of laughter and a good friend!

The show will feature Lynne Moulton and Fran Baron as Margaret Rutherford and Mrs. Henderson respectively.

The Delvena Theatre Company was founded in 1992 and has performed at various venues, most often at the Boston Center for the Arts.  The company was nominated for five Independent Reviewers of New England awards.  Its production of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' was on Theatre Mirror's Best List for acting, directing and production.  Presentations of 'Anna Weiss' and 'Beyond Therapy' were included on Theatre Mirror's best play list and 'Blue Heart' was placed on Aisle Say's best list.
