Why should you see The Lady From the Sea?

• Simon Stone is a master of breathing fresh life into familiar stories, having previously adapted Yerma at the Young Vic and Phaedra at the National Theatre. The Lady From the Sea will be his first project at the Bridge Theatre, a gloriously immersive space perfect for exploring this intimate, character-driven play.
• The show boasts a phenomenal cast, with Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Ex Machina) playing Ellida in her theatre debut and Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead, Love Actually) as Edward, in his much-anticipated return to the West End.
• The interviews by the cast and crew showcase how much love and excitement has gone into this production. Simon Stone has praised the Bridge Theatre as a space that ‘is exhilarating, versatile, incredibly intimate’ and also added, ‘Alicia was born to play this role. She grew up watching Ibsen in his original language. His myths course through her veins. She’s totally mesmerising to watch inhabit a character’.

What is The Lady From the Sea about?

Alicia Vikander stars as Ellida, who feels bored and restless in her too-comfortable life. When a past lover appears at the remote country home she shares with her well-off doctor husband Edward, she must choose between the security of the life she has built and the unpredictability of the one she left behind. 

Originally written by Henrik Ibsen, The Lady From the Sea has had several revivals since it was first performed in New York in 1973. Australian theatre and film director Simon Stone, known for his radical adaptations of classic works, is sure to capture the play’s searing exploration of humanity and all its complex relationships in this latest revival. Don’t miss The Lady From the Sea, which opens at the Bridge Theatre on September 10th.
