View all →About This Event
The Theatre Royal Bath will present the significant return of Edward Bond's *The Sea*. Jennifer Saunders reprises her iconic role as Mrs Rafi within this production, marking its first major revival in nearly twenty years. The play promises to be a captivating theatrical experience for audiences in Bath.
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. The Sea is a dazzling blend of wild farce, high comedy, and brilliant social satire. National treasure Jennifer Saunders returns to Bath following her previous appearance as the iconic Madame Arcati in the record-breaking West End production of Blithe Spirit. Jennifer Saunders is much loved for the sketch show French and Saunders, for which she and Dawn French received a BAFTA Fellowship, and hit comedy series and movie, Absolutely Fabulous.
