The Table

Moses is a cantankerous puppet, with a cardboard head, who lives on a table. He’s a serious guy, but he has a problem: he’s only ever invited to perform for children’s birthday parties. He’s an artist! Theatrical innovators who worked on the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony bring you his existential crisis in a display of epic puppetry inspired by Beckett, the Bible, and Ikea.

Blind Summit Theatre presents puppets in new places, and in surprising new ways. The Guardian raved that they’re “a smart, lively young company bringing real verve to the art form.” Since its debut as the award-winning, sold-out sensation of the Edinburgh Festival, The Table has become a prize-winning global phenomenon performed in dozens of cities from Shanghai to Romania to the Under the Radar festival in New York. Total Theatre Review called it an “unholy combination of cabaret laughs, top quality puppetry and a late-night vibe.”
