Separate Tables - Oast Theatre, Tonbridge

Separate Tables is the collective name of two one-act plays set in the 1950s, taking place in the Beauregard Private Hotel, Bournemouth, on the south coast of England. The first play, titled 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 18 months later, and deals with the touching friendship between a repressed spinster and Major Pollock, a kindly but bogus man posing as an upper-class retired army officer. The plays are about people who are driven by loneliness, but prefer human contact, however precarious, to isolation.
