DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA

by John Patrick Shanley

DATE

MAY 6-31, 2026

Venue

Shimberg Playhouse

Synopsis

Have you ever been caught in an earthquake? A chance meeting. A dive bar. Some encounters are so dangerous and so beautiful, they redefine the meaning of love. Follow two desperate people in the Bronx, Danny and Roberta, as they walk the line between destruction and transcendence.

As their initial reserve upon meeting begins to melt and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emerge — the first for both of them. “…the play is the equivalent of sitting at ringside watching a prize fight that concludes in a loving embrace.” —The New York Times.

The successful 2023 Broadway revival starred Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbot and earned two Drama League and three Lucille Lortel nominations.
