Table Manners is the first of three plays in Alan Ayckbourn's trilogy, The Norman Conquests. The others are: Living Together, and Round and Round the Garden. Each play is set in a different rooms of the home of Norman and his family and explores Norman's many exploits.
The families and visitors alike often behave as though they can't stand one another but juxtapositioned with this is a familiar, if emotionally chaotic, familial setting. Each play does stand alone, with Table Manners acknowledged as the funniest of the three by critics and Ayckbourn himself.
