About this audiobook
Kate Mulgrew as Katharine Hepburn in TEA AT FIVE has won standing ovations at each performance. The independent, intelligent, feisty Hepburn comes alive when Mulgrew slips deftly into the voice and being of the famous actress. The two-act play opens in 1938 when the actress is 31 years old and in the middle of a career slump. She is awaiting a call to see if she has won the part of Scarlet in a film called GONE WITH THE WIND. The story moved to 1983 when Parkinson's disease has left her voice shaking, her hand clutching a cane, but her eyes still shining with intelligence and wit. TEA AT FIVE is an unforgettable trip down Broadway, Hollywood Blvd, and memory lane.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a very fun production. Kate Mulgrew perfectly mimics Hepburn and gives a wonderfully nuanced performance. At just an hour in length, it's a quick, but highly-entertaining listen. This is a must-hear for fans, especially those who only know Kate from OITNB.
