HEDDA GABLER
By Henrik Ibsen
Hedda is used to getting her way having grown up in luxury, her every whim indulged. But now, after marrying George Tesman, a kind but dull academic, Hedda finds herself imprisoned in a life of genteel poverty.
For amusement, Hedda succumbs to the sinister thrill of manipulating the lives of those around her. Can she stop herself? Or is the allure of moulding someone’s destiny too seductive?
In Hedda Gabler, playwright Henrik Ibsen gives us a character that often described as ‘the female Hamlet’ - complex, narcissistic, often cruel, but always compelling.
Pitchy Breath's stylish reimagining of this classic drama will transport you to the 1950s, capturing the elegant, brooding aesthetic of pulp noir fiction and Hitchcockian films of that era.
