Catherine Tate leads the cast of David Eldridge's dark comedy about the nature of love and friendship, both true and unrequited.
Operated by The Society of London Theatre
Under The Blue Sky
Duke of York's Theatre, St Martin's Lane, LondonUnder The Blue Sky is David Eldridge's award-winning, funny and touching play - three subtly connected love stories that reveal in turn the roller-coaster ride of lust in its prime, the sacrifices of a life in public service and its unrequited passions.
In the long shadow of the 20th century, Under The Blue Sky is a delicate yet truthful depiction of all the degrees of love - from fondness and affection through the headier extremes of a drunken romp. It gives audiences an all too recognisable portrayal of the way in which uncertainties, misunderstanding and the unsaid lead to unexpected results for three couples who seem destined never to say the right thing.
