Place at the Table, A

By Simon Block

'Blisteringly funny and angry new play' (Sunday Times) about the dog-eat-dog world of television.

Adam is a fringe dramatist plucked from obscurity by a script editor striving to make her mark in a small independent TV company. Because Adam happens to be in a wheelchair, Sarah proposes he writes the first ever TV sitcom about disability. He accepts the commission with predictably disastrous results.

'A comedy that hits its chosen target with a wounding, and wounded, accuracy' Guardian

'Wickedly funny dialogue and a flagrant disregard for political correctness' Evening Standard
