The Lady from the Sea

Review:

Ibsen at his finest.

Ellida, raised on a rocky spit of land in a lighthouse in love with the sea, and…

The stranger, a metaphor for the sea.

Married to Doctor Wangel, a good man but kind of a pussy.

Hilde and Bollette, daughters from a previous marriage, both seemingly play hard to get from…

Lyngstrand, artist with imaginary consumption, and

Arnholm, former tutor to the young ladies.

A fast, intellectually challenging play that paints wonderful imagery, lots of sunshine, lots of cloudy fjords.
