Table 17

Would you meet your ex for dinner if they asked?

The production follows Jada and Dallas, who have not sat across from one another since their engagement ended. What starts as a relaxed catch-up gradually turns into a more searching conversation about the highs and lows of their relationship, the memories they still carry and the things neither has said before. Waiting staff with sharp tongues add an edge to the evening, and the story keeps returning to the question of what went wrong and whether anything between them is still worth salvaging.

The show is a drama built on two performers and a single restaurant setting, so the pace rests on dialogue and the tension between the characters rather than on spectacle. Its subject is intimate and emotionally direct, and it asks the audience to follow a conversation that becomes harder to keep light as it goes on.

The piece will suit those interested in new relationship drama and character-led theatre. The Kiln Theatre, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, is the setting for this production.
