About The Lady From The Sea
Ellida lives with her husband and stepdaughters in a remote coastal town, where the sea seems to echo with the life she left behind. Once bound by a passionate promise to a mysterious sailor, she now finds herself stifled by domestic routine. When the man from her past returns, Ellida must confront the pull between the freedom of desire and the safety of the life she chose.
Simon Stone’s adaptation brings Ibsen’s psychological drama into the present, exposing the quiet devastations of compromise and the seductive danger of unfinished stories.

The Lady from the Sea reveals further star casting
This autumn, Henrik Ibsen’s haunting classic The Lady from the Sea will wash ashore at London’s Bridge Theatre in a brand-new production directed and adapted by acclaimed theatre-maker Simon Stone. Marking his debut at the Bridge, Stone brings his signature contemporary style to Ibsen’s 1888 psychological drama. As previously announced, Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln will lead the production, but who will join them?
Joe Alwyn, known for his work in The Favourite and Conversations with Friends, plays Heath, Ellida’s former lover whose unexpected reappearance threatens to upend her carefully controlled existence. Alwyn brings a brooding presence to the stage, offering a sharp contrast to Edward’s calm reliability.
Joining him is John Macmillan, recently seen in House of the Dragon, who plays Lyle—a character whose place in Ellida’s world adds further complexity to her emotional dilemma. Brendan Cowell takes on the role of Finn Marcet, while Isobel Akuwudike appears as Hilda and Gracie Oddie-James portrays Asa. Together, they complete a cast that promises to bring fresh urgency and psychological nuance to one of Ibsen’s most quietly radical works.

Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln to star in The Lady from the Sea
Oscar winner Alicia Vikander and The Walking Dead’s Andrew Lincoln will star in The Lady from the Sea, a gripping new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s rarely performed classic. Reimagined and directed by Simon Stone, the modern master of emotional excavation, the play opens at the Bridge Theatre on 18 September 2025 and runs for a strictly limited 9-week season.
With previews beginning 10 September, Stone’s Lady from the Sea promises a raw, emotionally-charged exploration of love, freedom, and the ghosts that never quite stay buried.
Vikander, making her UK stage debut as Ellida, plays a woman haunted by a past passion and trapped in a quiet coastal life with her husband Edward, played by Lincoln. When a figure from her past resurfaces (no, not a walker this time), Ellida must choose between stability and the wild pull of something lost - but not dead.
