Acerca de este título
A poignant study of loneliness, impotent rage and societal expectations breeding a certain kind of madness, this trailblazing play focusses on Hedda Gabler, 'the general's daughter', and her rising feelings of anger and jealousy towards a former schoolmate, fuelled by her lack of control in her own life. When a former suitor comes back into her life, bringing with him all kinds of complication, passion and history, Hedda devises a plot to win back her power... which ultimately leads to a very civilized sort of chaos and, ultimately, tragedy.
Full cast: Laura Carmichael, James Parkes, Rachel Atkins, Sarah Whitehouse, Christopher Dane, Harry Myers, Fiz Marcus.
©2016 Audible, Ltd. (P)2016 Audible, Ltd.At its centre is Hedda herself - the general’s daughter - rendered with chilling precision as a woman bristling with intelligence and appetite, yet trapped within the narrow parameters of what she is allowed to want. Her simmering anger and corrosive jealousy toward a former schoolmate feel painfully earned, fuelled by a world that grants her status but no agency. The play’s brilliance lies in how it allows us to understand Hedda without ever excusing her: we are drawn into her interior life even as we recoil from the consequences of her actions.
The return of a former suitor detonates the drama. History, passion, and unresolved desire flood back into Hedda’s carefully controlled existence, and the play handles this collision with exquisite tension. Every interaction crackles with implication; every word feels weighted with what cannot be said. Hedda’s attempt to reclaim power, through manipulation, through fantasy, through destruction—is both horrifying and heartbreakingly logical, culminating in what the play so deftly frames as a “very civilized sort of chaos.”
Performed by an outstanding ensemble - Laura Carmichael, James Parkes, Rachel Atkins, Sarah Whitehouse, Christopher Dane, Harry Myers, and Fiz Marcus - the piece is a masterclass in vocal storytelling. Each performance is finely calibrated, allowing the psychological stakes to land with devastating clarity. Carmichael’s Hedda, in particular, is a triumph: brittle, magnetic, and terrifyingly human.
Trailblazing in form and fearless in its emotional honesty, this play lingers long after the final moment. It is tragic not because of what happens, but because of how inevitable it all feels, a stark reminder of what can grow in the shadows when desire is denied and power is withheld. A truly exceptional work.
