The Lady From the Sea

You can't lie to family. I think we lie to family more than anyone else. The Lady from the Sea is a thrilling dissection of desire, loss and rebirth for the contemporary age. Fearful she may have settled too easily for a comfortable life married to a well-off doctor, Ellida searches for a way to break the predictable routine her existence has become. When a lover from her past appears at their remote country house, she has to choose between the life she has now built and the one she left behind long ago. This new adaptation of Ibsen's classic play is written and directed by Simon Stone (Yerma, Phaedra). Published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Bridge Theatre starring Oscar winner Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln, this is an unforgettable contemporary version of a classic text.
