National Theatre of London in HD The Deep Blue Sea Comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse

Craig's Fine Jewelry Live in HD Series at The Ridgefield Playhouse brings an encore screening of National Theatre of London's production of The Deep Blue Sea on Friday, November 11 at 6:30 p.m. Helen McCrory (Medea and The Last of the Haussmans at the National Theatre, Penny Dreadful, Peaky Blinders) returns to the National Theatre in Terence Rattigan's devastating masterpiece, playing one of the greatest female roles in contemporary drama.

Tom Burke (War and Peace, The Musketeers) also features in Carrie Cracknell's critically acclaimed new production. When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours 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.
