SUMMARY:Summer 1954 - Table Number 7 & The Browning Version
DESCRIPTION:Summer 1954 – Table Number 7 & The Browning Version\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Summer 1954 – Table Number 7 & The Browning Version\n\n\n\nWritten by Terence Rattigan \n\n\n\nDirected by James Dacre \n\n\n\nStarring Nathaniel Parker and Dame Siân Phillips \n\n\n\nSummer\, 1954. \n\n\n\nThe atmosphere at The Beauregard Private Hotel\, Bournemouth\, is marked by a blend of repressed emotions and post-war gentility. Each of the staff and guests has their own reason for seeking the solace of quiet anonymity but trying to hide from the social and cultural change sweeping over the country is proving impossible. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, in the heart of the Midlands\, the end of the school term brings to a climax the intrigues\, deceptions\, and lies in the lives of its teachers. The ensuing implosion of classicist Andrew Crocker Harris’s career triggers the collapse of his marriage. \n\n\n\nBritain is changing. Nothing will ever be the same again. \n\n\n\nTerence Rattigan’s one-act masterpieces Table Number Seven (from Separate Tables) and The Browning Version are paired for the first time\, capturing one quietly momentous evening seventy years ago. Together\, they confirm Rattigan as one of the great 20th-century chroniclers of the paradoxes of the human heart. \n\n\n\nDirected by Olivier and UK Theatre Award winner James Dacre(Four Quartets\, The Two Popes and Blue/Orange)\, an ensemble cast will perform both plays\, led by Olivier Award winner Nathaniel Parker and BAFTA winner Dame Siân Phillips. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“A fine production… a handsome double-bill. Immaculately paced by James Dacre”. ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nThe Guardian \n\n\n\n\n\n“Excellent performances from a strong cast”. ★★★★ \n\n\n\nStage Talk Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n£14.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices:From £14.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times:Tuesday 11 February at 7.30pmWednesday 12 February at 7.30pmThursday 13 February at 2.30pm & 7.30pm (Captioned)Friday 14 February at 8.00pmSaturday 15 February at 2.30pm (Audio Described\, Touch Tour) & 7.30pm \n\n\n\nInterval:This show includes an interval \n\n\n\nAge Guidance:12+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxford Playhouse\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse and its Burton Taylor Studio present and produce several live performances and feature a rich array of British and international dramas\, family entertainment\, contemporary dance and music\, student and amateur shows\, comedy\, lectures and poetry. \n\n\n\nThe Playhouse not only produces and tours its own theatrical productions\, but it also fosters creativity through its Artists in Residence program and the Playhouse Plays Out series\, which brings unique events to various locations across the county. \n\n\n\nThe theatre’s Participation Team engages over 15\,000 individuals annually\, offering an extensive range of activities\, including post-show discussions\, workshops\, work experience opportunities\, holiday programs\, a youth theatre\, and a company for young performers. \n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse stands dedicated to its mission of being a Playhouse for all\, striving to ignite inspiration and bring about transformative experiences through its commitment to creativity on its stages\, within its community and online. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about Oxford Playhouse\, including travel\, access and venue information.
