Table by the Window
The first of Terence Rattigan’s famous linked plays about repression and refuge in a run-down hotel. Starring Shaun Dooley, Naomi Frederick and Nathalie Armin.
Separate Tables is a vital portrait of post-war Britain in flux. Here, in a small, shabby hotel in Bournemouth, a brutal clash of generations is playing out. Beneath a veneer of respectability lies a modern world of desire, deception and violence.
Separate Tables comprises two linked one-act plays: Table By The Window and Table Number Seven. In this play, Table By The Window, Anne arrives from London, and she and her ex-husband John must confront their painful past.
