| A Comedy By Terence Rattigan | Directed by Hunt Burdick |
Separate Tables is set in a shabby genteel hotel on England’s south coast where the residents, for the most part, dine alone—at separate tables. The story is about sexual repression, understanding and forgiveness. Hillbarn’s take on it, although true to the script, pokes a little fun at the repressed mores of the 1950s while at the same time understanding that the glimpse is real. The original movie contained blockbuster actors Deborah Kerr, Rita Hayworth and David Niven—who won an Oscar for his portrayal. Our version will make you laugh about some of the outmoded conventions in our past.
