Synopsis

Hedda Gabler is a classic play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Set in the late nineteenth century, the play follows the life of Hedda, a young socialite whose life is filled with endless boredom and longing. As she struggles to find her place in society, Hedda’s inner turmoil is reflected in her desperate attempts to break free of the societal norms that bind her. This emotional journey is filled with suspense and drama, as Hedda’s choices have the power to shape her own destiny.With its timeless themes, Hedda Gabler is one of the most powerful and thought-provoking plays of all time. This edition is based on the 1907 translation by William Archer (1856–1924) and Edmund Gosse (1849–1928).
