The Show TAMSIN GREIG stars in Terence Rattigan's 1950's study of obsession and the destructive power of love in a new production originally presented at the Theatre Royal Bath.
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.
Olivier Award winner Tamsin Greig has been one of the country's best-loved stage and screen actresses in a career spanning four decades.
She won the Olivier for Best Actress in 2007 for Much Ado About Nothing and has been nominated for The Little Dog Laughed and Women on the Verge of a Breakdown.
The cast includes Tony Award nominee Finbar Lynch (Not About Nightingales, National Theatre, Girl From The North Country, Noel Coward Theatre).
Director Lindsay Posner's recent highly acclaimed productions include the West End transfer of Noises Off and A View From The Bridge starring Dominic West.
