Synopsis
A ground-breaking drama that explores a sensitive young man’s coming of age amid the taunts and suspicions of his classmates and teachers at a private boys’ academy. Only a sympathetic act of compassion by the wife of the headmaster gives young Tom Lee the courage to grow into a man. Tea and Sympathy was a hit both onstage and as a major motion picture.
