  • 18 May, 2016 the DEEP BLUE SEA Lyttelton Theatre Previews from 1 June, Press Night 8 June, Final Performance 21 September
    18 May, 2016 THE DEEP BLUE SEA Lyttelton Theatre Previews from 1 June, Press Night 8 June, final performance 21 September. On Wednesday 8 June, Terence Rattigan’s play, THE DEEP BLUE SEA directed by Carrie Cracknell opens in the Lyttelton Theatre. The production will have set designs by Tom Scutt, lighting by Guy Hoare, music by Stuart Earl, sound by Peter Rice and movement direction by Polly Bennett. Helen McCrory plays Hester Collyer; the full cast is James Alper, Marion Bailey, Katy Brittain, Tom Burke (Freddie Page), Hubert Burton, Adetomiwa Edun, Elsie Fallon, Nick Figgis, Nick Fletcher, Yolanda Kettle, Andrew Lewis, and Peter Sullivan. Helen McCrory and Carrie Cracknell reunite following the acclaimed Medea in 2014. A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952. When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with Freddie Page, a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a High Court Judge begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion. Behind the fragile veneer of post-war civility burns a brutal sense of loss and longing. Terence Rattigan was one of the most influential playwrights of the mid-20th century. His plays included The Winslow Boy, The Browning Version, Separate Tables, Flare Path and After the Dance which was produced at the NT in 2011 (Olivier award for best revival). He is still the only playwright who has had two straight plays run for over a thousand performances in London’s West End simultaneously.
