What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the exploration of women's freedom and the depth of Ibsen's characters in 'The Lady From The Sea.' Many praise its philosophical themes and the unexpected happy ending, finding it a refreshing change from Ibsen's typically tragic plays. Some, however, feel that the dialogue can be stilted and the characters somewhat shallow, leading to mixed reactions about its overall impact.

Synopsis
The Lady from the Sea (1888) marked a turning point in Ibsen's career as it, and the plays that followed it, concerned itself more with individual destinies than with general moral or social priniciples.
In this new translation, Pam Gems (best known for plays such as Piaf, Stanley and Marlene) gives the drama a refreshing new life.
