Ibsen’s greatest masterpiece, Hedda Gabler, is a surprisingly modern and relatable exploration of power, beauty, and will. Privileged Hedda Gabler has just returned from a long honeymoon with her bookish husband George, and must begin adjusting to her new middle class lifestyle with all of its galling expectations and limitations. When a woman from Hedda’s school days arrives to warn them that George’s old rival is back in town, a whirlwind of staggering choices and surprising decisions seals the fate of Hedda’s friends and foes alike.
