> 'Go on then, table, speak. You tell us, you were there, you've always been there. '

> Six generations, twenty-three characters and one very special piece of furniture. Tanya Ronder's thrilling new play is an epic tale of belonging, identity and the things we pass on.

> Table was the first play to be staged in The Shed, a temporary venue at the National Theatre, London, to celebrate original, ambitious and unexpected theatre. It premiered in April 2013 in a production directed by Rufus Norris.

> Tanya Ronder's work includes adaptations of Lorca's Blood Wedding for the Almeida, Pirandello's Liolà for the National Theatre, and DBC Pierre's novel Vernon God Little for the Young Vic (Olivier Award nomination for Best New Play).

Author’s Note

This play was developed with the support of the National Theatre Studio, evolving through workshops with director Rufus Norris. The following actors took part in the workshops: Naana Agyei-Ampadu. Jamie Ballard, Clare Burt, Daniel Cerqueira, Chipo Chung, Rosalie Craig, Jonathan Cullen, Joseph Drake, Katie Fleetwood, lan Gelder, Harry Hadden-Paton, Paul Hilton, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Jenny Jules, Rory Kinnear, Martina Laird, Penny Layden, Lyndsey Marshal, Andrew Maud. Itxaso Moreno, Sarah Niles, Lauren O'Neil, Matthew Pidgeon, Jessica Raine, Maggie Service, Michael Shaeffer, Sharon Small, Rebecca Sutherland and Sophie Wu. Table is full of moments inspired by the above.

The following script was created for the first production of Table, which opened The Shed at the National Theatre in April 2013. Some of the stage directions reflect the set created for that space, where the table was mounted on a large, low platform, surrounded by audience on three sides. At the back there was another long, thin platform, with chairs. This enabled us to use different playing areas at the same lime, allowing 'ghosting' of different time-frames, or the resonance of an ancestor passing through, or simply providing an off-stage space. Another production can, of course, find different solutions. Likewise, the hymns and music noted are the choices used for this production, they’re not imperatives.
