THERE'S a chance to see a National Theatre Live satellite broadcast direct from London at local cinemas on Thursday September 1 at 7pm.
Terence Rattigan’s classic play The Deep Blue Sea (12A) starring Helen McCrory and Tom Burke will be screened.
Deep Blue Sea is set in a flat in Ladbroke Grove in West London in 1952. When Hester Collyer (McCrory) is found by her neighbours in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her sterile marriage to a High Court judge begins to emerge.
Deep Blue Sea is a searing a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion set against the fragile veneer of post-war civility within which burns a brutal sense of loss and longing.
Hester realises that she cannot continue with the affair but neither can she return to her humdrum marriage.
Slowly, though, with the help of a disgraced doctor who lives in the same apartment block, Hester comes to see that there is life beyond the horizon.
