People behind the production
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea is a landmark two-character drama from American playwright John Patrick Shanley. Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 1983 at Circle in the Square Theatre, the play has returned to the stage in revival twice more (2004 and 2023), solidifying its place in contemporary American theatre. The 2023 revival at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, featuring Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott and directed by Jeff Ward, brought renewed attention to the Bronx-set story of two damaged souls seeking connection.
