About Hurtwood House
Around the Table is a new drama by Hurtwood House, a student and youth company, presented at the Olive Studio. The piece follows six separate lives woven together across shared meals — exploring friendship, connection, and how we endure difficult moments. Written in a spare, poetic style, the play poses questions about identity and belonging, asking who we are when we are with the people closest to us, and how the places where we gather shape who we become.
Why see this show?
A tight, intimate piece of new writing that uses the shared table as a lens on friendship and how we carry one another through difficult times. Well-suited to audiences who appreciate understated, character-driven drama.
