Separate Tables

by

Terence Rattigan

Directed by: Frank Kirkham

2, 5-9 Oct 1993

Separate Tables is the collective name of two one-act plays set in the 1950s in the Beauregard Private Hotel, Bournemouth.

The first play, entitled "Table by the Window", focuses on the troubled relationship between a disgraced Labour politician and his ex-wife.

The second play, "Table Number Seven", is set about eighteen months after the events of the previous play, and deals with the touching friendship between a repressed spinster and a retired English army officer, Major Pollock.
