By Terence Rattigan
Director Philip Franks

‘Scene: the dining-room of the Beauregard Private Hotel, near Bournemouth. It is small, rather bare and quite unpretentious.’

But Terence Rattigan, expert anatomist of human emotion, soon takes a scalpel to the apparently genteel surface, revealing an endlessly surprising landscape of guilt, hatred and inflamed passion, and a floor littered with broken hearts.
 
Appearances can be deceiving, and Separate Tables is anything but polite.
