Marion Bailey, Peter T. Sullivan, Tom Burke & More to Join Helen McCrory in National Theatre's THE DEEP BLUE SEA

The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye reports that Tom Burke, Marion Bailey, Peter T. Sulivan, Hubert Burton and Adetomiwa Edun will join Helen McCrory in Carrie Cracknell's production of The Deep Blue Sea by Terence Rattigan in the Lyttelton Theatre, opening on 8 June. The production reunites McCrory and Cracknell following MEDEA in 2014.

Marion Bailey will play Mrs. Elton, with Peter T. Sullivan as William Collyer and Tom Burke as Freddie, to McCrory's Hester.

THE DEEP BLUE SEA is described as: "A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952. 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."
