In an experience that is cinematic, socially distanced, updated, and adapted, Equality Productions presents “Hedda Gabler" as you’ve never seen it.

“Do you think it quite incomprehensible that a young girl - when it can be done without anyone knowing - should be glad to have a peep, now and then, into a world which she is forbidden to know anything about?” 

Skulking the walls of a house she never wanted and trapped in the confines of a marriage that disgusts her, bored, and mercurial Hedda Gabler longs for freedom she will never allow herself.  Quietly, maliciously, and perhaps desperately, she begins to manipulate the lives of those around her, orchestrating a bid for agency that careens toward self-destruction. Ibsen’s electrifying Hedda Gabler paints the snarled portrait of a woman whose character is not easily resolved and forces us to confront the humanity of those monsters fashioned in captivity.

Part One and Two are available now.

Audition notice: The production contains profanity, suicide/self-harm, depictions/discussions of gun violence.
