THE DEEP BLUE SEA

From the acknowledged master of the ‘well made play’ and author of French Without Tears and The Winslow Boy, comes the Irish premiere of Terence Rattigan’s beautiful and timeless classic The Deep Blue Sea.

A wonderfully amusing and yet heart breaking love story, it is regarded as one of the greatest and most enduring dramas of the 20th century. Hester Collyer, played by Ingrid Craigie, deserts her husband (Bryan Murray) for the charms of a dashing, much younger, ex-fighter pilot played by Risteárd Cooper, only to find herself emotionally stranded and desperate.
