The Animals Come to the Table - Sam Wanamaker Playhouse

The Animals Come to the Table is a bold new play from acclaimed playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker, premiering at the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Funny, provocative and imaginative, the production explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world through an unusual negotiation.

When the lights suddenly go out, a negotiator and interpreter are called to a secret meeting. Waiting for them are a chicken, a rat, a snow leopard and countless voices from nature, demanding an end to exploitation and environmental destruction. What follows is a strange and thought-provoking encounter that blends comedy, politics and philosophy.
