Danny and the Deep Blue Sea takes place in a rundown bar in the Bronx, where two of society's rejects, Danny and Roberta, strike up a conversation over their beer. He is a brooding, young man who resorts more to violence than reason; she is a divorced, guilt-ridden young woman whose troubled teenage son is now being cared for by her parents. When they come together, the result is a morbidly humorous, violent and vulgar fairy tale about a frightening and ultimately fascinating relationship. Author John Patrick Shanley is best known for his award-winning scripts for Moonstruck and Doubt. Crown City Theatre's production stars Juliet Landau (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel's Drusilla) and Matthew J. Williamson (Helter Skelter).

Harry wants to play knight in shining armor for a waitress half his age, but his rescue plans involve murder.

The actors were fantastic...for what I could see of them. If you sit 3+ rows back on the sides, there were several blocking issues where the actors were not in view at all. Other than that, the show was great!

Description

The play revolves around the dilapidated lives of Danny and Roberta, two tortured strangers who meet by chance at a dive bar in the Bronx. Danny, an emotionally unstable, street brawling truck driver, and Roberta, a self-loathing, troubled woman, collide in a morbidly humorous, violent and vulgar fairy tale about a frightening and ultimately fascinating relationship.

Shanley describes this play as an Apache dance. Shanley dedicates the play to, “everyone in the Bronx who punched me or kissed me, and to everyone whom I punched or kissed.”

This play is not recommended for audience members younger than 15.
