Vikander said she was “super excited and wonderfully nervous” to begin the workshopping process with Stone in the coming weeks, out of which he will begin to produce the final script.
As the show is still being developed, it has not yet been confirmed what the setting will be for this production.
Another UK adaptation of The Lady from the Sea performed in 2017 at the Donmar Theatre moved the story to the Caribbean in the 1950s.
The new adaptation is billed as her UK stage debut, but Vikander notes it’s actually her first theatre of any kind since she was 19.
“I did theatre for my teens for a lot of years, like a child actor, and then the last thing I did was when I was a dancer for the Stockholm Opera House,” she explained.
“I grew up watching my mother doing theatre, and I ‘d always watch from afar, and I can’t wait to try and do it myself.
“It’s a daunting thing to do, obviously, it’s my first time on stage as an adult, and it’s on the London stage, and obviously I want to make sure people get their ticket money’s worth! But I’m really excited.”
