Hedda Gabler

by Henrik Ibsen A new adaptation by Jon Robin Baitz From a literal translation by Anne-Charlotte Hanes Harvey

A spellbinding drama of revenge, manipulation, sexual repression, deceit, and despair, climaxing in an ending that never fails to shock and surprise.

“…stunning…amazingly contemporary in its considerations of the purpose of life, of the preservation of dignity and integrity…the big issues people don’t dare to think about.” —N.Y. Times.

“When Henrik Ibsen…wrote HEDDA GABLER 110 years ago, a woman’s place in society was far different from what it is today. The fact that this psychological drama plays as well now as it did a century ago is apt tribute to the sheer genius of the playwright.” —Record-Journal.
