🎭 The Deep Blue Sea (1981) | BBC Saturday Night Theatre – Terence Rattigan’s Classic British Drama

A Powerful BBC Radio Drama of Love, Faith, and Despair — Terence Rattigan’s Masterpiece on Chesterton Radio

🕯️ “The modern world is full of old Christian virtues gone mad.”
— G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy (1908)

🎧 The Deep Blue Sea (1981) — a BBC Saturday Night Theatre classic — explores the deep waters of love and loss in postwar London.
Written by Terence Rattigan, this British radio drama follows Hester Collyer, a woman torn between passion and conscience. In her descent from respectability to despair, she discovers that love without faith is as suffocating as the sea itself.

Chesterton Radio presents this full-length BBC radio play in restored audio, a timeless portrait of emotional truth and moral struggle.
As G.K. Chesterton observed, when virtues lose their roots, they turn to madness — and here, mercy becomes obsession, and love becomes despair.
A haunting reflection on what it means to be human — and to hope when hope itself is gone.
