2. Hedda Gabler

After they return from their honeymoon, Hedda and her new husband George Tesman try to adjust to married life. However, Hedda is a passionate, strong-willed, and intelligent woman desperately fighting to suppress her true nature and abide by the rules of the society in which she lives. The battle between Hedda’s true nature and the life she is forced to live results in chaos not only for Hedda but for all those around her. Written by world-renowned playwright Henrik Ibsen in 1890, this play is a shining example of realism and nineteenth century drama. The EPAC production of Hedda Gabler will use the new translation by British playwright Patrick Marber. This crisp, modern adaption used for the acclaimed National Theatre production in 2016 brushes the cobwebs off Ibsen’s masterpiece and brings amazing Hedda into our modern world.
