This production of Hedda is a modern reimagining of Henrik Ibsen's classic play "Hedda Gabler". Directed by Nia DaCosta and starring Tessa Thompson, this adaptation brings a fresh perspective to the renowned stage drama from 1891. It's far from childish; this is an epic and thought-provoking interpretation that explores the complexities of Gabler and her struggles within societal constraints. Trapped in a loveless marriage, the play explores themes of power, control, and societal expectations.
