Theatre proudly presents, for the first time in its 27-year history, an
explosive theatrical masterpiece by Henrik Ibsen. Considered one of the
most progressive playwrights of the late 19th century, Ibsen has
been hailed as the father of modern drama. Ibsen explored the sub-conscious
mind, confronting prejudice and breaking through social tradition,
in order to create the intense psychological dramas that made him famous.
“[Ibsen’s plays] are full of the most disturbing passion - a passion that
breaks through the most conscious concerns of the artist to reach the buried
regions of our deepest humanity.” (Newsweek)
Sex and power are at the center of Hedda Gabler, one of Henrik Ibsen’s most intriguing and acclaimed works. A fire rages in Hedda, not to live her own life, but to live someone else’s vicariously -- to form it, control it, use it as a means of self-fulfillment and as a weapon for retaliation. When an ex-lover re-emerges, Hedda coolly calculates the destruction of her new spouse to satisfy her personal amusement. Come join us in celebrating this history-making event and experience a unique examination of sex, scandal and manipulation! |
