Hedda

Hedda Gabler is one of the most controversial female characters in Western drama, with the meaning and value of her tragic fate hotly disputed. Free-spirited but trapped in a stifling marriage, intelligent and questing but consigned to a life of bourgeois idleness, she is caught between a disturbed sense of propriety and a desire for revolution.

Trapped by her past and terrified of her future, bored by her life but too cowardly to walk away from it, she finds herself caught between three men. And in the end, something has to give
Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" radically relocated to present-day London. Premiered at the trendy Gate Theatre, London.
