Hedda Gabler (Teaser) | Stratford Festival 2024

"I wanted to know everything I was forbidden to know."
HEDDA GABLER
April 25 - September 28 | Tom Patterson Theatre
Opening Night Performance: May 30
The honeymoon is barely over and the mercurial Hedda Gabler is already bored with her husband and the respectable life he represents. When new people with old ties to the couple arrive on the scene, she seizes the chance to challenge what society would have her accept as "happiness," instead asserting her powerful will and wreaking havoc on everyone in her reach. Henrik Ibsen's masterwork shocked late-19th-century audiences with its complex portrait of female identity and independence.

[@hakonsoreide]

Possibly Ibsen's best play, and his most interestingly complex character.

I remember seeing Irene Worth in the role at Stratford in 1970.

I’ll bet that made for some memories.
