Summer 2011

Full-length Play Named Runner-Up

 

TABLE MANNERS, a full-length play by William Fowkes, was the runner-up for the 2011 New Works Project at T. Schreiber Studio in New York. (TABLE MANNERS has since been re-titled, A FIELD GUIDE TO TABLE MANNERS.)

Synopsis: In restaurants, it’s human nature to stare at strangers at other tables and wonder who they are and what they’re up to. In A Field Guide to Table Manners, the audience eavesdrops on conversations and encounters all around the country and the world (from Chicago to London, Tribeca to Buenos Aires) and gradually comes to see that people want the same things—love and sex, respect and understanding—regardless of what’s on the menu. The play presents eight stories in all, three of which comprise a continuing saga.
