Bored with married life? Meet Hedda Gabler, the original "cool girl gone bad."
The honeymoon phase is over, and Hedda Gabler is already itching for something more. Her husband is respectable, her life is comfortable, but it's all just a bit... dull.
When an old flame reappears, Hedda sees a chance to break free from the societal expectations that suffocate her. She's a woman who craves power and control, and she'll stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Henrik Ibsen's masterpiece, "Hedda Gabler," shocked audiences in the late 19th century with its unflinching portrayal of a woman who refuses to conform. It's a dark and twisted tale of manipulation, jealousy, and the destructive consequences of a life lived on the edge.
Get ready to meet one of theatre's most iconic tragic characters, a woman who will challenge your perceptions and leave you questioning the true meaning of happiness. Just be warned: this play is not for the faint of heart.
