Edinburgh preview of The Table at Jacksons Lane

What is it?

Blind Summit present an Edinburgh preview of The Table.  Moses invites you to visit the place where he lives – The Table – and tells the story of how he got there and of the people who visit him.  Join Moses in this poignant performance as he considers his life, the table and what lies beyond. . .

Told with few words, beautiful puppets and Blind Summit’s trademark performing style, The Table combines the dark humour of Beckett and the flat-pack technology of Ikea.

Blind Summit has been reinventing puppetry for modern adult audiences since 1997.  Their innovative programme of work has led the company to collaborate with Anthony Minghella on his acclaimed production of Madame Butterfly and with Simon McBurney on A Dog’s Heart.  Drawing on the traditional form of Bunraku puppetry, Blind Summit is renowned for creating cutting edge theatre using beautifully crafted puppets.
