The story begins in a seedy, desolate bar where we meet Danny and Roberta, two damaged souls with secrets to share. Both seek solace and redemption as their night turns into morning. Will they find it? Or will their lives continue downhill? Danny And The Deep Blue Sea is a moving, raw drama of lust, love and the need for human connection.

The cast includes Katie Housley as Roberta and Chris Clark as Danny. “I am thrilled with my cast on this show and look forward to presenting this earlier work from the author of MOONSTRUCK to our audiences,” says director Michael Driscoll. This production is staged managed by Christine Gaden with the lighting designed by the talented Ed Person.

Critics have written "..the play is the equivalent of sitting ringside watching a prize fight that concludes in a loving embrace."- NY Times” The Drama-Logue described it as "... a funny, frightening ,hypnotic and fascinating evening of theater.."
