The Deep Blue Sea by Terence Rattigan

Drama / Characters: 5 male, 3 female

Scenery: Interior

Hester Collyer's husband is a rich, talented lawyer; her lover, Freddie, is neither Hester's moral nor intellectual equal, but Hester loves him with an intensity that few, and especially not Freddie, are capable of matching. They are death to each other. Hester is driven to attempt suicide. Between the devil and the deep blue sea the latter looks very attractive. She is saved by Miller, a disbarred doctor, and through him learns how to transcend both hope and despair.

TERENCE RATTIGAN was one of the most popular English 20th-century dramatists. His first play, First Episode, was produced in 1934 and his first big hit French Without Tears in 1936. His best known later works include After the Dance, Flare Path, The Browning Version, The Winslow Boy and The Deep Blue Sea. Many of his plays have been adapted for film, and are frequently revived.
