Birmingham Royal Ballet
Overview
The cast of Royal Birmingham Ballet performs during the dress rehearsal of The Green Table in June 2026.
The ballet’s plot focuses on the futility of war, highlighting the ignorance and self-interest of political leaders and the devastating impact of their choices on ordinary lives. These themes are communicated through dramatic and symbolic movement, expressionist gesture and the haunting recurring figure of Death. Nearly a century later, its message remains resonant.
