— Judge Brack

ABOUT

Hedda, daughter of prominent general Gabler, has just returned from her honeymoon with academic Tesman, and she’s bored already of her confined life. She yearns to control the fate of the people around her – troubled genius Løvborg, manipulative charmer Brack. Hedda Gabler is a portrait of a complex anti-heroin, and a pressure cooker of a play that plays out in a single day in Hedda and Tesman’s house. The Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen wrote the play Hedda Gabler in the 1890s, and the world has held a fascination for the text since.

Tesman – Her husband, an academic
Miss Juliana Tesman – his aunt
Judge Brack – a local magistrate and charmer
