Details

by Terence Rattigan

Written in the early fifties when Rattigan was at the height of his powers, The Deep Blue Sea is a powerful account of lives blighted by love - or the lack of it.

The Deep Blue Sea opens with the failed suicide of Hester Collyer, who has deserted her husband for the raffish charms of an ex-fighter pilot. During the play we watch her wrestle with the intensity of her love-and lust-for the younger man, who is having his own problems adjusting to post-war life.

This edition, part of a series of Rattigan plays published by NHB, includes an authoritative introduction to Rattigan's life and work and a comprehensive overview of the play.
