Hedda Gabler

Hedda and her successful yet uncomplicated husband, Jurg, have just returned from their honeymoon. She’s already bored with marriage, so when her former flame Lovborg arrives, she sets her life alight. Why? Because she can. In this modern adaptation of “Ibsen’s Hamlet”, Hedda shows one fat middle finger to being nice. She is horrible, and proud of it. Do not miss this.
