Terence Rattigan's greatest play is a masterpiece of twentieth century drama. First performed in 1952, The Deep Blue Sea was inspired by the suicide of a young actor whom Rattigan had loved. This edition was reissued to coincide with Terence Davies' 2011 film version, a highly acclaimed cinematic triumph.

Recensione:

Terence Rattigan sounded the deep blue sea of English feeling...Britain has gone Rattigan crazy...None can doubt now that Rattigan was made to last...his popularity is destined to run and run. --Daily Telegraph

Totally faithful to Rattigan's vision and a fine example of how to turn theatre into film. --Derek Malcolm in the Evening Standard

A museum of emotions, brought to contemporary life through Davies' artistry and Weisz's fire. Here, they show us, is how people felt, and hurt, in another time. Their love and pain can touch us today. --Time

The scars of the heart have their outward reflection on these dark, broken streets, with little pockets of warmth and solace in the pubs where Londoners huddle. If the movie is both gorgeous and stifling, that feels just right for Rattigan's aching prison of a play. --Telegraph

A mesmeric, haunting and often very beautiful study of isolation. In an age of hubbub, its patient elegance is a rare thing we should nurture. --Empire
