''[[The Tables Trilogy]]'' is a non-verbal theatre piece by [[Mike van Graan]].

== The original text ==

''[[The Tables Trilogy]]'' comprises of three independent pieces, the unifying feature in each is the multi-functional use of tables. It explores universal issues rooted in local experience such as the cyclical nature of oppression and resistance (one group oppresses another, the oppressed come to rule and oppress others); truth and reconciliation, crime and the arms trade. It also satirizes the elusive promise of freedom, with directions to freedom being changed constantly, and freedom escaping from those who were just about to embrace it.

== Productions ==
1999: First presented at the Standard Bank [[National Arts Festival]] Fringe, 3-8 July 1999, directed by [[Warrick Grier]], with [[Nan Hamilton]], [[Nana Mngoma]], [[Thando Mthi]], [[Mbuso Shandu]] and [[Thabathani Zakwe]].
