What if you were sat next to the love of your life and just didn't know it? Stuck beside each other at a dinner party year after year. Some would call it fate, Mavis and David call it a nightmare. She's keen. He's terrified. Together, they're trapped. Forced proximity breeds love… and contempt. Think One Day meets Sliding Doors, with a dash of Julia Davis' Nighty Night. A fresh twist on the classic romcom. Seating Plan is a poignant exploration of fate, loneliness and the invisible ties that bind us – even when we're too stubborn to notice.

Why see this show?

A clever, warmly observed romcom where forced proximity does all the heavy lifting. Mavis and David are stuck beside each other at a dinner party year after year — whether that becomes love or contempt is the whole delicious question. New writing at its most relatable.
