The Deep Blue Sea (2011), adapted from Terence Rattigan’s play by Terence Davies, is ravishing and devastating, a romantic drama of impossible love between the cultured married woman (Rachel Weisz) and a hot-tempered working class war veteran (Tom Hiddleston) in the years after World War II.

It was William Shakespeare who wrote "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts".
To mark World Theatre Day on the 27th March, we're paying tribute to a quote by Sir. Terence Rattigan which has been taken from his play The Deep Blue Sea.
Sir Terence Rattigan was a British dramatist and screenwriter. He was one of England's most popular mid-20th-century dramatists. He wrote The Winslow Boy, The Browning Version, The Deep Blue Sea and Separate Tables, among many others.
Since 1962 World Theatre Day has been celebrated all over the world, and is designated for those who can see the value and importance of theatre, and to recognize its role in personal, cultural and economic development.
The AMAR International Charitable Foundation’s School for Orphans is located in Basra, Iraq. The school was built in 2016 and up to 30% of the children who attend, have lost both parents to war or disease.
The School for Orphans has modern facilities and provides a broad curriculum, so children get the best start in life. According to the National Literary Trust and Manchester City Council, “every community faces different challenges and we need local solutions.”
This is why the AMAR Foundation builds and rehabilitates educational facilities across Iraq, ensuring that children have access to safe, clean classrooms, so the experience for children is conducive to successful learning.
As Terence Rattigan stated in The Deep Blue Sea, "the world is a dark enough place for even a little flicker to be welcome" and it is for this reason, why the AMAR Foundation are shining a very bright light!
