The Sea
Edward Bond’s The Sea returns in a major revival at Theatre Royal Bath starring Jennifer Saunders as Mrs Rafi.
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, at Theatre Royal Bath from 22 October to 7 November 2026.
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, Mr Hatch, the local draper, wrestles with the possibility that aliens from outer space may be ready to invade, and the village’s self-appointed ‘First Lady’ Mrs. Rafi, prepares her ladies for an amateur dramatic performance of Orpheus and Eurydice...
The Sea is a fascinating blend of wild farce, high comedy, biting social satire and bleak poetic tragedy.
