The plot unfolds: "Fearful she may have settled too easily for a comfortable life married to a well-off doctor, Ellida searches for a way to break the predictable routine her existence has become."
As past passions rekindle when an old flame reappears at their secluded country home, Ellida faces a crossroads between the stable life she's made and the bygone days of youthful love.
Thrilled about Lincoln's addition to the cast, theatre director Simon Stone couldn't hide his enthusiasm, expressing, "I've been a fan of Andrew since I was a teenager."
Stone praised the actor warmly: "His effortless emotional access; the ugly truth underneath his handsome, charming exterior; the vulnerability that he's willing to let us watch, thereby transforming itself into awe-inspiring strength. Open, raw, honest: my kind of actor."
The actor famed for portraying Rick Grimes has revealed the influence behind his latest theatrical venture, pointing to Billie Piper as the catalyst.
He shared his admiration for Piper's performance, stating: "I'm blaming Billie Piper for this."
He expressed his awe at her work, saying, "I saw Yerma and I thought it was some of the best acting and one of the finest plays I'd seen in ten years."
Seeking advice from Piper, a personal acquaintance, he recounted, "And Billie is a friend of mine and I said 'Look, there's this guy [Simon Stone], I've met him, what's it like?'".
Piper's response was both daunting and encouraging: "And she said 'It was one of the most profoundly terrifying things I've ever done, but you must do it'."
