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.'

Great acting, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Intense

See it if Appreciate intense full on drama. Great acting while somewhat disturbing content.

Don't see it if You cant sit through 90 intense minutes w no break

Thought-provoking, Intense, Ambitious

See it if you want to see a dark portrayal of a woman behaving badly, though without much clue as to the reason why, with some comical moments.

Don't see it if you are put off by a confusing and incongruous ending, or overacting in a small venue.

Entertaining, Refreshing, Thought-provoking

See it if good adaption of this ibsen classic; a modern take with some strange twists.

Don't see it if you don't like your classics messed with; should stick to being a drama, tried to be funny at parts but it didn't work

Fun, Entertaining, Absorbing, Quirky, Thought-provoking

See it if You love Ibsen and Hedda and want to see a more modern adaptation, which is more "fun." (As fun as Hedda Gabbler can be–so not tremendously)

Don't see it if You love Ibsen and couldn't stand to see Hedda altered into a more flippant version.

Clever, Confusing, Edgy, Entertaining, Quirky

See it if Experimental versions of classic plays are of interest. You've a penchant for darker themes.

Don't see it if You prefer your classics, classic and not modernized. You want a light evening at the theatre. Read more

Absorbing, Clever, Entertaining, Great staging

See it if A show that starts out well enough only to get a little slow paced at times. It is still worth seeing as it has good direction, good acting.

Don't see it if You must like this kind of genre or it will not be a good evening for you.

Hard worked, Good set, Well intended, Disappointing, Negative

See it if you enjoy melodrama. There is a lot of plot. And a remarkably successful party scene.

Don't see it if you expect it to relate to Hedda Gabler in any way other then the frequant use of her name.

Clever, Intelligent, Relevant, Edgy, Quirky

See it if You like your classics updated with twists in language (updated) and plot in spare intimate production

Don't see it if You don’t like playwrights taking liberties with classics or period pieces being updated
