Danny & the Deep Blue Sea
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea
(An Apache Dance)
by John Patrick Shanley
Performed at WAAPA, in July 2001
From the program notes:
“Danny and the Deep Blue Sea captures the struggle of two people, Danny and Roberta who are trying to escape from the violent urban landscape in which they live in. Frustrated by the brutality and the lack of compassion they witness around them, they become lost in it themselves. Danny’s frustration leads him to scour the street for fights. Roberta hides in the sanctity of her small bedroom. Their fateful meeting in a bar one night leads them to the realisation that they do not suffer alone. Together they realise that they can have anything that they want. The challenge is to have the courage to hope”
