Helen McCrory's Definitive Performance as Hester in The Deep Blue Sea | National Theatre at Home

'I'm simply some prized possession!' Playing one of the greatest female roles of modern drama, the late Helen McCrory features alongside Peter Sullivan and Tom Burke in Terence Rattigan’s devastating masterpiece. The Deep Blue Sea is now streaming worldwide on National Theatre at Home: https://www.ntathome.com/

When Hester is found following attempted suicide, the story of her tempestuous affair and marriage breakdown begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion.

We’ve released our recording of The Deep Blue Sea on National Theatre at Home in fond memory of Helen McCrory. She had a long and rich association with the National Theatre, beginning with Blood Wedding in 1991. The Deep Blue Sea was her most recent performance here in 2016.  

We hope you’ll enjoy this definitive Hester Collyer by Helen McCrory, as well as her towering performance as Medea. Helen gave her blessing for both plays to be shared with you all. They are now streaming worldwide on National Theatre at Home: https://www.ntathome.com/
