A powerful drama of passion versus loyalty and the destructive power of love.
Hadley Fraser and Selina Cadell join original cast members Tamsin Greig, Nichola Farrell and Finbar Lynch in the West End transfer of the Theatre Royal Bath productions THE DEEP BLUE SEA, following a sell-out run at the Ustinov Studio last year. This powerful drama will run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London from Wednesday 7 May until Saturday 21 June 2025.
When you’re stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea can sometimes look very inviting. In this powerful drama of passion versus loyalty, Hester Collyer, the daughter of a clergyman and wife of a judge is floundering in the closing stages of a hopeless affair. Freddie Page, her lover, a handsome but shallow ex-Battle of Britain pilot, is out of his depth in their relationship, overwhelmed by the strength of an emotion he is incapable of reciprocating…
Olivier Award winner Tamsin Greig who stars as Hester Collyer has been one of the country’s best-loved stage and screen actresses in a career spanning four decades. She won the Olivier for Best Actress in 2007 for Much Ado About Nothing and has been nominated for The Little Dog Laughed and Women on the Verge of a Breakdown.
The stellar cast includes stars of stage and screen Selina Cadell (Doc Martin, The Madness of King George), Nicholas Farrell (Chariots of Fire, House of Cards) Hadley Fraser (Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, The Lehman Trilogy) and Tony Award nominee Finbar Lynch, with Preston Nyman (Mufasa: The Lion King) and Lisa Ambalavanar (BBC’s Doctors, HBO’s Titans).
Director Lindsay Posner’s recent highly acclaimed productions include the West End transfers of Noises Off and A View From The Bridge starring Dominic West.
