event The Lady From The Sea: University Theatre

When Henrik Ibsen was writing in the mid- to late 1800s, many of his plays were deemed scandalous, because Victorian values ruled the day. Changing social mores may have removed some of Ibsen’s shock value and bite, but his themes remain universal regardless of the era. University Theatre’s production of The Lady From The Sea explores a love triangle between Ellida, her husband Dr. Wangel, and Ellida’s former love who returns to sweep her away and fulfill a decade-old promise. Regardless of the period, the difficulties in letting go of the past never become any less complicated. The Lady is also rich in symbolism, and weaves in multiple influences of Norwegian myths and ghost stories.
