‘Hedda Gabler’ at the Baxter Theatre

Hedda is back, and she’s turning up the heat. Just back from her honeymoon with her boring yet successful husband, Jurg, Hedda is already bored with her marriage. So when an old flame, Lovborg, arrives, she burns their life to the ground. Why? Because she can. In this modern adaptation of “Ibsen’s 𝘏𝘢𝘮𝘭𝘦𝘵”, Hedda is anything but nice. She’s horrible and proud of it.
