"The Deep Blue Sea" is a stage play by British playwright Terence Rattigan, first performed in London on March 6, 1952. The play is set in England in the early 1950s, a period marked by post-war recovery and societal conservatism. The story begins with the discovery of Hester Collyer, who has attempted suicide via gas inhalation in her flat. Her neighbors find her unconscious, igniting the unraveling of Hester's turbulent past. Throughout the play, Hester battles with her suicidal ideation, but she is given new clarity through conversations with her neighbor, Mr. Miller. By day’s end, Hester resolves to continue living. The play garnered critical acclaim and has been adapted multiple times for television and film.

Rattigan revivals still outsell any " contemporary " drama offerings on the
London stage. He didn't do box ticking or virtue signalling . Just frail human beings facing the tragi - comedy that is Life. Our modern " theatre practitioners "
are under the illusion that he's irrelevant. ?! They'll be forgotten when Rattigan
is still being performed in years to come. .
