'Absolutely sublime, the best thing this excellent company has ever done'.
Time Out
'Remarkable... with considerable wit, Blind Summit once again prove that when you are working in miniature, you don't have to think small'.
The Guardian
LIMF 2012 opens with the new show from the innovators who created memorable puppetry for Anthony Minghella’s award-winning Madam Butterfly, Simon McBurney’s A Dog’s Heart and their own sellout hits, 1984 and Low Life. The Table comes to London after a critically acclaimed and sold out run in Edinburgh, where it won a coveted Fringe First award.
Join Blind Summit on a journey that takes in a ballet of disembodied heads, a story told entirely by pictures emerging from a briefcase, and a tiny Moses with a cardboard head full of lonely wisdom. The Table features beautiful, three-person operated figures, dark humour and flat pack technology. No man is an island…but sometimes a puppet can be a table.
Performers: Nick Barnes, Sarah Calver, Mark Down, Sean Garratt, Ivan Thorley
