The Animals Come to the Table
What would happen if nature grabbed the mic?
The world premiere of?a?bold?new play?from one of the UK?s leading playwrights, Timberlake?Wertenbaker?(Our Country?s Good), written for?the?candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
The lights go out.
The animals arrive.
And humanity is summoned to the negotiating table.
A negotiator and an interpreter are called to a secret emergency meeting. Waiting for them are a chicken, a rat, a snow leopard and an army of voices from the natural world demanding an end to exploitation and ecological destruction.
Funny, furious and unsettling, The Animals Come to the Table imagines the moment the earth finally answers back.
The world premiere of?a?bold?new play?from one of the UK?s leading playwrights, whose works including?Our Country?s Good, Jefferson?s Garden, The Love of the Nightingale and Little Brother are studied and performed worldwide. Bringing together?politics, wit,?philosophy?and mischief,?this new work?is an audacious experiment of stepping into someone else?s shoes.
