When the Wall came tumbling down, the battle for power had just begun."

On 9 November, 1989, against all expectations, the Berlin Wall came crashing down. The next morning, British playwright David Edgar sat down to his typewriter and began to write the first in what would eventually become 'The Eastern Europe Trilogy'. Originally premiered at the National Theatre on the one-year anniversary of this remarkable event, The Shape of the Table looks inside the government of an unnamed Soviet satellite country as the thousands appeared, suddenly, on their streets and in their squares.
