Hedda Gabler

---

Henrik Ibsen's most famous antiheroine has fascinated audiences for over 120 years in this captivating play that defined modern psychological drama. Set in a changing 20th-century Europe, this modern adaptation finds a young Hedda trapped in a loveless marriage. To compound her misery, the comfortable lifestyle she had dreamt of is threatened by the return of her former lover, now a promising academic in competition with her new husband. Desperate to maintain what little agency over her life she still has, Hedda begins to manipulate those around her, with tragic results. Hedda Gabler is a masterclass on the dangers of power, as it explores themes of pain, lust, co-dependency, and love.
