About this listen

Meet Alex, a photographer on a holiday with his family in the south of France. Meet Abe, a music producer with a baby on the way. Two men - both fathers, husbands, and sons - take us on a journey you will never forget. The finest actors of their generation, Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Sunday in the Park with George) and Tony Award nominee Tom Sturridge (1984), had audiences roaring to their feet during the sold-out Broadway engagement. Now Sea Wall / A Life, a dramatic exploration of transformative love and devastating loss, comes to Audible.

Loved every bit of it...was not what I expected, both stories were very moving - had to take a break between them, the first kind of shook me, needed time to absorb...brilliantly performed.

Better than I thought!

Both of the stories reach deep inside me and pull out my own memories and life experiences. I love the true honesty of both pieces which include the beautiful aspects of life but also its hardships and the darker moments. Also I cannot ommit the brilliance of both Gyllenhaal and Sturridge who are taking on a rollercoaster of feelings. As I wasn't able to see this being performed live, I'm so happy that this beautiful piece of theatre has been brought here to heal and break hearts.

Extraordinary

Life with its mixture of beauty, love and gut wrenching sorrow. Exquisitely written and with performances in kind.

Emotional, moving, heartbreaking yet funny. Both pieces are beautifully written and performed. After my first listen, I went straight back and listened again. Bravo

At first I was sad that I’d missed the chance to see the play, but after listening to it, I changed my mind. It’s utterly heart wrenching and if I’d been around other people? Nope.

Be prepared to be a mess.

Don’t listen to this in public.

Amazing!
