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.

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.
