KEARNEY – The University Theatre at Kearney will present “The Lady from the Sea” April 8-12 at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
“The Lady from the Sea,” written by Henrik Ibsen, tells the story of Ellida, who lives in a land-locked fjord home but is drawn toward the sea. A past love returns promising the ecstasy of the unknown. Ellida is torn between suffocating on dry land and finding freedom across the sea.
The play, originally written in 1888, was translated by English playwright Pam Gems and premiered at the Almeida Theatre in London in 2003.
The performance is at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday (April 8-11) and at 2 p.m. Sunday (April 12) in the Miriam Drake Theatre.
