Separate Tables by Terence Rattigan
These two plays are set in a shabby genteel hotel on England's south coast. Except for the two leads in each (which may be doubled) the same characters appear in both. In Table by the Window, a down-at-the-heels journalist is confronted by his ex-wife, a former model who provoked him to the violent act that sent him to prison, destroying his future. Still in love, they nevertheless go through another terrible scene and it is the hotel manager, Miss Cooper, who helps repair their broken lives. In Table Number Seven, a 'self-made' army colonel without any true background and education to which he lays claim, finds solace with a spinster over the objections of her ruthless, domineering mother. When a sordid scandal threatens to drive them apart, Miss Cooper again comes to the rescue.TERENCE RATTIGAN (1911-1977) hit the jackpot with French Without Tears at the age of 25 and went on to write After the Dance, The Browning Version, The Deep Blue Sea, Separate Tables, and The Winslow Boy, among other works. The majority of Rattigan's plays are now available in attractive uniform editions from Nick Hern Publications, with over a thousand copies sold to date.
