| Synopsis |
|
When you’re caught
between the devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
can sometimes look very inviting; that according to the
heroine of Terence Rattigan’s powerful 1952 drama.
‘The Deep Blue Sea’ tells
the story of Hester Collyer, the daughter of a clergyman
and wife of a judge, who has abandoned her steady husband
and life of affluence for a blind passion for a much
younger man. But Freddie Page, a handsome but thoughtless
ex-RAF fighter pilot, is out of his depth in their
relationship, overwhelmed by the strength of a love he is
incapable of reciprocating. Tormented by her hopeless
passion, Hester cannot face a life without love and
commitment. With the spectre of scandal looming ever
closer the deep blue sea looks the more attractive option.
‘The Deep Blue Sea’ was
last performed by the QPs in 1959 when Rattigan himself
was a Vice President of the Players. It was one of the
most selected plays in the
Royal National Theatre’s
NT2000 One Hundred Plays of the Century compilation
chart. |
