Seperate Tables is the collective name for two one-act plays by Terrance Rattigan, both taking part in The Beauregard Private Hotel in Bournemouth, a town on the south sea coast of England. The first play, entitled Table by the Window, focuses on the troubled relationship between a disgraced Labour politician and his ex wife. The second play, entitled Table Number Seven, is set about eighteen months after the events of the previous play, and deals with the touching friendship between a repressed spinster and a kindly but bogus man posing as an upper-class retired army officer, Major Pollock.
The two principle roles in both plays are written to be played by the same performers. The secondary characters - permanent residents, the hotel's manager and the members of staff - appear in both plays.
The plays are about people who are driven by loneliness into a state of desperation.
