Hedda Gabler

Norway, 1890. Hedda Gabler is fiercely intelligent and ambitious. In another time, in another place she could perhaps achieve anything she put her mind to but not here, not now. Newly married, Hedda is powerless, bored and stifled. Her only escape is to play dangerous games with the lives of the people around her.

Beguiling, fascinating and terrifying, there is no other character in drama like Hedda Gabler. In Brian Friel’s superb version Ibsen’s masterpiece isn’t just one of the classics of European theatre, it is theatre which leaves its mark on everyone who experiences it. Once you meet Hedda Gabler you won’t be able to forget her.

Following the success of A Doll’s House, The Weir and The Cherry Orchard, Hedda Gabler is this year’s autumn season main house production at Sherman Theatre.
