  • 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.

  • Women in Transit – Notes
    ‘Moving Back to “Home” and “Nation:” Women Dramatists, 1938-1945’ Rebecca D’Monté At the height of the Battle of Britain in August 1940, Winston Churchill commended the RAF, but also rallied the nation, by stating that ‘This is a war of the unknown warriors….The whole of the warring nations are engaged, not only soldiers, but the entire population, men, women and children. The fronts are everywhere. The trenches are dug in the towns and streets.’ (Calder 1969: 17). Implicit within this was the way the Second World War brought about a greater blurring of the political and domestic spheres than ever before, with men, women and children involved in what became known as the ‘People’s War.’ This was stressed in the media of the time, with radio, advertising, magazines, films, and plays, all working to boost the country’s morale through depictions of national and personal heroism, social cohesion, and domestic bliss. Commentators such as Angus Calder and Alan Sinfield have argued that this mythopoesis hid the evidence of what happened when war broke away from its previous parameters of front line/home front. In relation to this, Judy Giles has recorded a series of further oppositional forces, which had implications for the positioning and representation of women during and after the War: ‘home/away (journey or voyage), stasis/movement, everyday/exceptional, private/public, traditional/modern, dependence/independence, feminine/masculine’ (Giles 2004: 141). It is possible to identify two forms of female ‘transit’ here. Women’s geographical movement can be described as ‘centrifugal’ as they travelled away from familiar, secure centres; a journey depicted, for example, in the films Millions Like Us and The Gentle Sex (both 1943), posters for female Service workers, and Laura Knight’s paintings.

    Adaptable Terence Rattigan: Separate Tables, separate entities? dominic shellard T R’ has essentially been that of a theatre writer, and a conservative one, who is supposed to have avoided the darker themes that invaded the British stage after (roughly) the arrival of Look Back in Anger in 1956. This view of Rattigan is by now surely on its way out. His relation to the theatre and the so-called New Wave is undoubtedly more complex. However, his track record as a screenwriter, sometimes but not always adapting his own plays, should not be forgotten. In 1939 we have French Without Tears, then Quiet Wedding (1940), The Day Will Dawn (1942), Uncensored (1942), English Without Tears (1944), Journey Together (1945), The Way to the Stars (1945), While the Sun Shines (1947), Brighton Rock (1947, from Greene’s novel), Bond Street (1948), and then a wonderful version of his own play The Winslow Boy (1948). In the 1950s he wrote The Browning Version (1951), The Sound Barrier (1952), The Final Test (1953), then disappointingly The Man Who Loved Redheads (1954), but trium- phantly another adaptation of his own play The Deep Blue Sea (1955). The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), starring Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier, who also directed, is often seen as the end of his film career. (It was an unsatisfactory, though intermittently charming, tardy revival of his Festival of Britain stage play that celebrated nation and the Oliviers – Vivien Leigh had the Monroe role – called The Sleeping Prince.) But actually his last film was much more distinguished: Separate Tables (1959), an American adaptation by Rattigan himself – but see below – of his own play (or rather two one- acters) of the same name.
