About the Show

The Bridge Production Group presents a new and loose adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic drama 'Hedda Gabler.'

Returning to Norway from a three-month honeymoon abroad, Hedda finds herself trapped in an unfurnished house with her uninspiring and academic husband. Trapped by moving boxes. Trapped by talks of academia. Trapped. The sudden inflow of guests and ghosts from the past provide Hedda the opportunity to stir the pot, creating some brief diversions to pass the time. As her actions continue to alter the lives of those around her, Hedda propels herself closer and closer to the brink of insanity. 'Hedda' is part of The Bridge's month-long residency at The Robert Moss Theatre, and is performed in rotating repertory with 'Red Light Winter' and 'The Sonnets.'

Absorbing, Clever, Delightful, Entertaining, Edgy

See it if total agreement with partner re: 95 %. Well done different view re: the Ibsen masterpiece. Small stage but great set To be rebuilt each show

Don't see it if you feel that it must be Ibsen's version. (I understand )and feel that the classic cannot be changed at all. Also, if you need a dance numbe

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Great acting

See it if You prefer independently produced dramedy, elliptical writing, and generously protrayed by a wonderful cast.

Don't see it if You prefer plays that are a little less dark and brutal. Or you prefer sattire and load comedies.

Great acting, Absorbing, Intelligent

See it if you are a fan of the play "Hedda Gabbler."

Don't see it if you don't enjoy dark material.

Clever, Great acting, Quirky, Refreshing, Entertaining

See it if A very unusual version of the Ibsen classic with a twist. This is not for the purists, but is very entertaining and fun.

Don't see it if You need an exact portrayal of Hedda Gabler as written by Ibsen. You expect a dreary costumed drama.

Clever, Edgy, Twisted, Quirky, Cruel

See it if You have a twisted sense of humor. A black comedy of narcissism and cruelty. Full of surprises. Warped dominant female lead role.

Don't see it if I wasn’t familiar with the classic, which I think added to my enjoyment of this takeoff because everything was new.

Absorbing, Entertaining, Great acting, Intense, Quirky

See it if you like the Ibsen classic and don't mind it being presented in a different, somewhat quirky manner at times. The base story is great !

Don't see it if you're a purist and want to see Ibsen's play as originally intended without the quirky, occasional comic changes to a very serious drama. Read more

Ambitious, Great writing, Entertaining, Great acting, Clever

See it if you enjoy a modern take on the classic. Well-staged with very interesting characters.
