JENNIFER SAUNDERS stars as Mrs Rafi, one of the greatest comic roles in British theatre, in the first major revival of Edward Bond’s intoxicating The Sea for almost two decades.
It is 1907, the height of the Edwardian era. A wild storm shakes a small East Anglian seaside village to its core. Amidst the confusion, all attention is focussed on the activities of the village’s self-appointed ‘First Lady’ Mrs. Rafi, who is preparing her ladies for an amateur dramatic performance of Orpheus and Eurydice...
The Sea is a dazzling blend of wild farce, high comedy, and brilliant social satire.
National treasure Jennifer Saunders returns to Bath following her previous appearance as the iconic Madame Arcati in the record-breaking West End production of Blithe Spirit. Jennifer Saunders is much loved for the sketch show French and Saunders, for which she and Dawn French received a BAFTA Fellowship, and hit comedy series and movie, Absolutely Fabulous.
Jonathan Munby is a British theatre director whose career spans classical and contemporary work across the UK and internationally, including major productions for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Donmar Warehouse, Young Vic and Shakespeare’s Globe.
Playwright and poet Edward Bond’s play The Sea, originally premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in May 1973.
