Tea at the Palace is a sumptuous and lively retelling of two intertwined medieval Russian folktales.    A hapless peasant is brought to the Tsar’s court and charged with treason simply for making tea in a samovar. Meanwhile, the Tsar becomes smitten with a clever peasant girl when she arrives at court to request settlement of a dispute.  To thwart the budding romance, the Tsar’s meddlesome servants resort to ridiculous antics, but are defeated at their own game when the Tsarina-to-be solves a series of riddles.

Staged in Puppetmongers’ signature style with zest, humour and delightful ingenuity, the show features magical pop-up scenery and an array of puppets based on antique toys and dolls ranging from 6 inches to 6 feet tall!  Exuberant music by David Anderson and Nuno Cristo draws on Russian songs and folk instrumentation.
Tea at the Palace is suitable for ages 5 and up.
