Arriving home after an extended honeymoon, Hedda struggles with an existence that is, for her, devoid of excitement and enchantment. Filled with a passion for life that cannot be confined by her marriage or 'perfect home', Hedda strives to find a way to fulfil her desires by manipulating those around her.
Richard Eyre's adaptation of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler was premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2005.
REVIEWS:
"A triumph... Eyre's dialogue is forceful, clear, with just enough idiomatic dash."
Observer
"Hedda is often regarded as the female Hamlet. But Eyre reminds us that it is a great polyphonic play as well as a commanding title-role."
The Guardian
"Hedda Gabler still has the power to shock."
Independent on Sunday
"Thrilling... re-administers, as if for the first time, the devastating shock and the sheer affront of Ibsen's drama."
