Ibsen’s great social drama is an important modern tragedy of an educated woman who can find no outlet in her society for her talents and has become warped by the restrictions placed upon her. Returning from her honeymoon and already bored with her marriage, Hedda finds herself caught between the brilliant but dissolute Eilert Lovborg and the clutches of the predatory Judge Brack. Hedda sets out on a shocking path of destruction that affects the lives of everyone around her.
Roles available:
George Tesman – Hedda’s husband, about 33, a cheerful academic
Judge Brack – long-time friend and advisor of George and Hedda, about 45, virile and distinguished
Eilert Lovborg – an academic colleague of George’s and former love interest of Hedda, about 33, pale and intense
Juliana Tesman – George’s aunt, about 65, pleasant and well-meaning
Berte – the Tesman’s maid, 60s, somewhat rustic
Thea Elvsted – a school acquaintance of Hedda and a former love interest of George Tesman, late 20s, timid and beautiful
