A re-examining of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler by Andrew Whittle

Hedda is bored –
and when Hedda is bored…
she is dangerous.

Hedda is home from a long and boring honeymoon. With a future of conformity and social restriction looming she amuses herself by toying with other people’s lives – but she may not be the best player in town.

And all games have consequences…

An exciting new version of Ibsen’s classic play about how personal trauma can rapidly become public turmoil.

Running time: 2hrs 40mins (including a 20 minute interval)
