The Lady From The Sea

Venue

The Bridge Theatre

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.

Written and directed by Simon Stone (Yerma, Phaedra), starring Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Ex Machina) and marking the return of Andrew Lincoln (Love Actually, The Walking Dead) to the London stage
