Dormouse and The Teapot's exploration into the world of tea, sometimes takes them to some strange and wonderful worlds into which they might not otherwise wander.
There has been a recent surge in interest in the theatrical; in vaudeville, burlesque and cabaret. The credit crunch has seen a rise in fascination in old-fashioned glamour, the 1940's, lipstick, powder and paint.
Alongside this a new genre of events has arisen, marrying performance with the age old ritual of taking tea - which of course never goes out of fashion- who knew Earl Grey could be so glamorous!
Heres just a sample...
