Hedda Gabler |
Description | A new version by Liisa Repo-Martell. Directed by Moya O’Connell. At the centre of the play is Hedda- an unknowable creature. We long to understand her edges and hidden places, we seek her vulnerable spots and the reasons behind her character but like every truly great creation she eludes us. The life force of Hedda is immense. The hunger of Hedda is immense. Her Soul reaches for more as the world tells her she should be satiated in her sitting room. A woman not made for her time. Perhaps not our time. Nor any time at all. She cannot and will not be contained. Each of the characters in this play are extraordinary portraits. It is polyphonic. Many voices. Deeply detailed. Transgressive. Idealistic. A play about art and creation and destruction and birth and money and sex and death. |
