Terence Rattigan’s 1950s study of the destructive power of love and obsession returns to London in 2025 starring TAMSIN GREIG in a new production at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
When you’re caught in the middle between the devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea can occasionally look very inviting. This powerful drama about passion versus loyalty focuses on Hester Collyer, the wife of a judge and daughter of a clergyman floundering in the closing stages of a hopeless love affair.

The Deep Blue Sea stars Olivier Award winner Tamsin Greig, whose glittering career on stage and screen spans over four decades. Greig won the Olivier for Best Actress for Much Ado About Nothing in 2007 and received nominations for Women on the Verge of a Breakdown and The Little Dog Laughed.
Lindsay Posner directs following several recent highly acclaimed productions including Noises Off and A View From The Bridge starring Dominic West.
