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…

El amor nos hace tontos a todos—y esta reposición de The Deep Blue Sea, de Terence Rattigan, desentraña esa locura con una claridad absorbente. Abriendo con el fallido intento de suicidio de Hester Collier (Tamsin Greig) en un piso destartalado de Ladbroke Grove, la obra nos sumerge en las secuelas de una pasión que sale mal. Con la aterciopelada Stormy Weather de Etta James acechando el silencio, es un comienzo que le da un puñetazo al estómago. ¿Desolador? Sí, pero también muy valiente.
