Award winner Greta Scacchi returns to the West End in Edward Hall’s new production of Terence Rattigan’s 1952 drama The Deep Blue Sea. The show will co-star Simon Williams and Dugald Bruce-Lockhart.
Foundering in the closing stages of a hopeless love affair, Hester Collyer (Scacchi), the daughter of a clergyman and wife of a judge, has abandoned her steady husband and life of affluence for a blind passion. 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.
