In a world increasingly hostile to displaced people, The Table stands defiantly at the intersection of art and action. This daring new piece of modular theatre confronts the crisis faced by refugees and migrants head-on, weaving stories of survival, hope, and defiance with raw theatrical power. Told through real-life testimonies, original writing, and a concept that allows the piece to transform in every venue, The Table is not just a play—it’s a call to solidarity.
Created to be dismantled and reassembled by different creative teams in different places, The Table invites local artists and communities to take ownership of the play, bringing new voices to the fore with every staging.
Following a powerful work-in-progress showing in 2024, the project now moves towards its final phase, starting in Peterborough before embarking on a national tour in 2026
