We are very proud of LHTC's Actors and their families, staff and members of our support team who recently took part in The Kiltwalk in Edinburgh on Sunday 13th September.

The sun shone and the team collectively did an incredible job, raising nearly £4,000! 🎉

What is The Table?

www.lungha.com/production/t...
What is The Table? A bold new dance theatre production, built through collaboration. Made together by Lung Ha Theatre Company, Curious Seed and Lyra  The Table asks big questions about belonging, access and power. Who gets a seat at the table? Who's been invited? Who got to make the invitations? Through movement, live music, text and playful imagery, it explores the joy, tension and messiness of being together. World premiere Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh 18-20 June 2026
