About this Event
Tea with Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice
An Immersive Tea & Theatre Experience at the Bembridge House
Step inside the historic Bembridge House for a one-of-a-kind afternoon of tea and theatre. Come journey with the Merchant, Antonio and his friend Bassanio as they navigate the seas of Love, Money and Justice!
Director and actor Michael Taber brings Shakespeare to life with an abridged three-act performance of The Merchant of Venice staged throughout the historic home.
The experience begins in the front garden, where the first act unfolds beneath the trees. Guests will then move into the house as the story continues — each act performed in a new space of the Bembridge House with brief intermissions between scenes.
Along the way, guests will enjoy our delightful tea service with fresh tea sandwiches and sweets, making this an intimate and engaging way to experience Shakespeare.
