Our highly popular series of lunchtime lectures on great works of literature are brought to you by Dr Jane Mackay.  A graduate of three universities, Jane’s obvious love for her subject, penetrating insight, wit, warmth and humanity continue to enthral.

The Deep Blue Sea by Terence Rattigan

2011 was Rattigan’s centenary year and has meant that we have been spoiled for choice in productions of his plays. ‘The Deep Blue Sea’ is one of his best, a totally emotionally revealing and honest play about the disturbing nature of passion and its relationship to the deeper one of love. The play has been the subject of two films, 1955 with Vivien Leigh and Kenneth More, and 2011 version with Rachel Weisz.
