Play #50 -- The Deep Blue Sea, National Theatre at Home, July 10

 The last National Theatre at Home production, and our 50th play!!!  Well, that's some good timing, now, isn't it?

The Deep Blue Sea, a "post-war" play set in 1952 London, follows the existential angst of a woman torn between a fiery affair with a handsome, vulgar lout and her dull marriage to an upstanding judge.  I saw some similarities with A Streetcar Named Desire, but can't remember a whole lot else at this point, other than that it held my attention rather well.
