Submitted Photo The Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series will air “Tea With The Dames,” this Saturday, and Nov. 6, at 7:30 p.m.

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the delightfully bawdy “Tea With The Dames,” starring Maggie Smith, Judy Dench, Joan Plowright and Eileen Atkins. It will be screened this Saturday, and Nov. 6, at 7:30 p.m.

What happens when four legends of British stage and screen get together? Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Eileen Atkins, and Dame Joan Plowright are among the most celebrated actresses of our time, with scores of iconic performances, decades of wisdom, and innumerable Oscars, Tonys, Emmys and BAFTAs between them. They are also longtime friends who hereby invite you to join them for a weekend in the country as they catch up with one another, reminisce, and share their candid, delightfully irreverent thoughts on everything from art to aging to love to a life lived in the spotlight. Bursting with devilish wit and whip-smart insights, “Tea With The Dames” is a remarkable opportunity to spend time in the company of four all-time greats — up close and unfiltered.

Allen Hunter, in the Daily Express, calls it “a joyful tonic of a film.” David White, in TheWrap, calls it “a consistently hilarious 90-minute chat.” Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone, calls it “a conversational feast with four acting Dames who are not above profane fun and confessions that make them human. Don’t miss the chance to bask in the pleasure of their company.” Glenn Kenney, in the New York Times, says “for the simple idea of sitting them all at a table and turning on a couple of movie cameras, the director Roger Mitchell should get a royal commendation himself.” Unrated, “Tea With The Dames” runs one hour, 34 minutes.
