Land locked. Sea free. Beyond the walls of her fjord home, where her husband Dr Wangel offers the security of family and responsibility, Ellida is constantly drawn towards the sea. It's from this element that her past love returns - promising the ecstasy of the unknown. Will she suffocate on dry land, or be washed out to sea?

Amy's View
Role: Dominic

Written by David Hare, directed by Richard Eyre
Aldwych Theatre, London; June 1997 – April 30, 1998

1979, Esme Allen (Judi Dench) is a well-known actress at just the moment when the West End is ceasing to offer actors a regular way of life. The visit of her daughter, Amy (Samantha Bond), with her new boy friend (Eoin McCarthy), sets in train a series of events which only find their shape eighteen years later. A play about the long-term struggle between a strong mother and her loving daughter, Amy's View mixes love, death and the theatre in a heady and original way.

"New York is my Lourdes, where I go for spiritual refreshment . . . a place where you're least likely to be bitten by a wild goat" ... Brendan Behan
