The Lady from the Sea
Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Elinor Cook


Ellida, the lighthouse-keeper's daughter, is trapped in her marriage and longs for the sea. When a former lover returns from years of absence, she is forced to decide between freedom and the new life she has made for herself.

The Lady From the Sea is playwright Elinor Cook’s startlingly original version of Ibsen’s classic play about duty and self-determination.
