(7,844 posts)When you stage a large "dinner" at a table, you pretty much have to put all the participants on the upstage side facing the audience.
Similarity does not always imply intention.
If you've got a large group of people behind a table, it's going to evoke the Last Supper pretty much no matter what you do. Take a look at this picture from the musical Matilda. It's a birthday party but sure, out of context you could say it resembles the Last Supper.

Every large thanksgiving dinner resembles the Last Supper. Every board room meeting at a long table resembles the Last Supper. The chest-bursting scene in ALIEN during a meal looks like the Last Supper.
