The Arts Department organized yet another theatre outing on November 2nd at the Megaron Mousikis for a National Theatre Live production, Terence Rattigan’s devastating masterpiece “The Deep Blue Sea”. A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952. When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbors’ in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a High Court judge begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion. Behind the fragile veneer of post-war civility burns a brutal sense of loss and longing.
