The Deep Blue Sea

The big Putney November show is Rattigan's Deep Blue Sea, directed by Roger Beaumont and Paula Robinson, so Cait interviews Carol (Mrs Elton) and Heidi (Ann Welch).A dingy flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London, 1952. Hester Collyer’s life is in turmoil. She has gambled her life – her home, her status, her marriage to a High Court judge – to pursue a relationship with dashing ex-fighter pilot, Freddie. But it seems she has lost.Left emotionally stranded, she can't see a way forward and going back is unbearable. She is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. As a single day unravels, she must stare into the abyss – and with help from an unexpected quarter, try to find a new way of living.Terence Rattigan's exquisitely crafted masterpiece about unequal desire burns with loss and longing. CastHester Collyer - Sarah SharpeFreddie Page - Daniel JonusasSir William Collyer - Pip NixonMr Miller - Tim IredaleAnn Welch - Heidi BartholomewMrs Elton - Carol StewartPhilip Welch – Callum HudsonJackie Jackson – George Nettleton_______________________________The Putney Theatre Company at The South West End!
