| Description | By Henrik Ibsen. In a new adaptation by Frank McGuinness. Presented by Arcola Theatre in association with Silkensaw. Is it better to suffocate on dry land or drown in the freedom of the sea? Ellida is consumed by her longing for the sea. Trapped in an unhappy marriage and loathed by her stepdaughters, she is drawn to the ocean, to the promise and ecstasy of the unknown. The startling arrival of a dark stranger awakens Ellida, stirs her desires and lures her back to the water’s edge. Now she must confront both the past and a desire for freedom that could destroy her. Frank McGuinness has been a major presence in Irish drama for the last twenty years. As well as writing his own plays, such as Factory Girls (revived on its 5th year anniversary at Arcola), he has adapted and translated to great acclaim an eclectic range of the classics including an award winning version of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Hannah Eidinow directs Lia Williams in this new translation of Ibsen’s sensuous and erotic play. |
