In celebration of The Old Vic’s 200th Birthday, the acclaimed Paines Plough production of Sea Wall, by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time, National Theatre/West End), directed by George Perrin and performed by the multi-award winning Andrew Scott, plays at The Old Vic for just 2 weeks from Monday 18 June.

Things for Alex are good. He loves his wife, his daughter, his city, his job. But sometimes the force of life can crash against you. Sometimes everything you thought you could always depend on can be taken away.

Sea Wall was written by Simon Stephens as a stage play for Andrew Scott and now comes to The Old Vic in a strictly limited run.

Andrew Scott said of Sea Wall: “I’m so excited to return to The Old Vic. Sea Wall, to my mind, is a stunning piece of writing, and the idea of performing Simon’s beautiful play in this most magical of theatres makes me really happy. Thanks Matthew for having us. I hope The Old Vic audiences will love the play as much as I do.”

Don’t miss the opportunity to see this quietly devastating monologue.
