Audible will release its original audio production of the hit Broadway double-bill ‘Sea Wall / A Life’, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge, on April 30th. Both plays (also seen Off-Broadway) explore the joys and pain of both love and loss as the men recall past events involving those they love.
‘Sea Wall / A Life’ Coming To Audible On April 30th
Jake Gyllenhaal & Tom Sturridge Master the Art of Deconstruction
Any two actors can share a bill. But can they share an omelet?
“Would you eat any if I got one?” Jake Gyllenhaal asks Tom Sturridge, tepidly perusing a menu of European cuisine. “I might,” he replies before Gyllenhaal shifts to consider gazpacho. “I’d share that,” Sturridge enthuses—and so it is decided.
Much has been made of the intimacy between the duo, appearing currently on Broadway in “Sea Wall/A Life,” a pair of monologues being performed at the Hudson Theatre wherein they don’t actually share scenes and only take to the stage in separate acts. But on a surprisingly temperate afternoon in the summer’s dog days, seated on the same side of a booth in a Lower Manhattan restaurant, both insist the other easily ranks among their best scene partners to date.
