The Deep Blue Sea is being screened live in Gainsborough this week

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.

Carrie Cracknell’s new production stars Helen McCrory and Tom Burke.

The screening is at Trinity Arts Centre on Thursday, September 1 at 7pm.

Tickets are £12 and £10 on 01427 676655 or http://bit.ly/1coU3TT
