"The Lady from the Sea" is a play written by Henrik Ibsen in 1888, inspired by
the ballad Agnete og Havmanden. The play revolves around Ellida Wangel, a
woman who is married to a physician in a small fjord town in northern Norway.
Ellida is restless and troubled by a former romantic attachment, and her
husband invites Arnholm, Bolette's former tutor and a former suitor to Ellida,
to help her. Ellida was deeply in love and engaged to a sailor, but he had to
escape after murdering his captain. The sailor returns years later to claim
her, and Ellida has to choose between her former lover or her husband. The
play ends with the sailor leaving and Ellida and her husband deciding to take
up their lives again together. The play has been performed in various theaters
around the world, and there have been several adaptations, including a ballet,
an opera, and a radio adaptation.
