“To see yourself as the world sees you may be very brave, but it can also be very foolish.”
As we become ever more connected online, many of us are feeling more disconnected than ever. According to the Office for National Statistics, around a quarter of adults in the UK report feeling lonely always, often, or sometimes.
Terence Rattigan’s powerful post-war drama The Deep Blue Sea lays bare the emotional cost of loneliness and longing. Hester Collyer, having left her husband for a younger man, finds herself caught between passion and despair as her fragile relationship begins to crumble.
Written in 1952, this is one of Rattigan’s finest and most frequently revived plays - a portrait of love, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to go on living. With his trademark compassion and precision, Rattigan captures the ache of being human in a world struggling to reconnect.
