Directed by: Frank Kirkham

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.
