Hedda Gabler


Henrik Ibsen


At the center of Henrik Ibsen’s signature play is one of the greatest roles in modern drama, the fascinating Hedda Gabler, who finds herself stranded in a seemingly ordinary but dangerously imbalanced domestic system. Employing methods that virtually defined the modern psychological drama, Ibsen stealthily reveals the bitter conflicts and thwarted longings that lie just below the "civilized" transactions of daily life.


 


"…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. " —NY Times.


 


"Hedda Gabler has so many layers. The tragedy plays upon the irony, which acts upon fully drawn characters to make up a thoroughly modern work… " —Connecticut Post.


 


"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.
