The Lady from the Sea, Henrik Ibsen. 13 October- 6 November 2010
Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester


Henrik Ibsen’s PASSIONATE and SWEEPING drama

“Tomorrow you shall have your freedom again. You shall live your own life…”

When the lighthouse keeper’s daughter Ellida meets the widower Dr Wangel, she tries to put her long-lost first love far behind her and begin a new life as a wife and stepmother. But the tide is turning, and English ship is coming down the fjord, and the undercurrents threaten to drag a whole family beneath the surface in this PASSIONATE and SWEEPING drama.
