Hedda Gabler | 19th – 24th February 2018

Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen. A version by Christopher Hampton.

Directed by Alice Heather

Just married. Bored already. The beautiful and headstrong Hedda longs to be free.

Hedda and the ineffectual academic George Tesman have just returned from their honeymoon and the relationship is already in trouble.

Her one hope of escaping is that Tesman has expectations of promotion and he becomes the outlet for her ambitions.

But when those ambitions are threatened Hedda comes up with a plan to remove the obstacles, and have some excitement in the process. If everyone will play along nicely then everything will work out fine.

But Hedda is not the only one with a manipulative streak…
