Danny and the Deep Blue Sea

Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, the story of two strangers—a self-loathing, violent man and a divorced, guilt-ridden woman—whose fateful meeting in a dingy, NYC bar gives each a second chance.

Two of society’s rejects, Danny and Roberta, strike up a haltingly bitter conversation at a bar in the Bronx. As their reserve begins to fade, they find an exorcism and forgiveness that, while painful, offers the hope of a future touched. Performed at the famed Nuyorican Poets Café, we invite you to join Danny and Roberta for a beer and discover John Patrick Shanley’s story of unexpected love.
