Nobody is a nobody. Life just moves.
Hope is hope is hope again.

Highlighting the experiences of first generation economic and war migrants in Peterborough, Bournemouth and London, this bold new play is made to change.

Every production of The Table is uniquely put together by each performance company using 32 scenes written by Scotsman Fringe First & Amnesty International Award-winning playwright, Peterborough-raised Aisha Zia, and based on four years of research with migrant communities across the UK.

The Table threads together deeply humane scenes about the challenging and joyous shared experiences of migrants in the UK.

This edition was published to coincide with the 62 Gladstone Street touring production in association with Leeds Playhouse, ARC in Stockton, Strike-A-Light in Gloucester, The Green Backyard, Metal Peterborough and Landmark Theatres for Counterpoints Refugee Week in June 2026.
