Award-winning film and television actress Joely Richardson makes a welcome return to the London stage in this revival of The Lady From The Sea at the Rose Theatre, Kingston.

Ellida is married to Dr Wangel and lives with him and his two daughters. But she feels claustrophobic and restless and swims in the sea every day. Ten years ago she promised herself to another man. On a late summer’s day he comes to claim her.

Henrik 

Ibsen’s elusive masterpiece offers a surprisingly optimistic answer to the riddle that he posed in A Doll’s House: happiness in marriage is possible, but only under the right conditions…

The Lady from the Sea is directed by Stephen Unwin, who has been widely hailed for his five productions of Ibsen, including an award-winning Hedda Gabler at the Donmar Warehouse.

Part of a British theatrical dynasty that includes her mother Vanessa Redgrave and her late sister Natasha Richardson, Richardson is best known for her screen work, which includes hit US series Nip/Tuck and The Tudors, though she recently returned to the stage in the New York production of Side Effects.
