"The Deep Blue Sea" is a 1954 British TV play based on the play by Terence Rattigan starring Kenneth More, reprising his role on stage.[1] [2]
it was performed twice, first on 17 January 1954 and again on the 21st, as part of Sunday Night Theatre.[3]
The program was popular and seen by 11 million people.[4]
The Birmingham Mail called it "one of those rare productions that are utterly sure of themselves."[5] The Evening Standard called it "sensitive and efficient."[6] The Evening Standard said "it is difficult to find words to praise it enough."[7]
More later played the role again in a 1955 film version.[2] He was happier with this version of the play than the feature film version.[8]
