A new adaptation of Hedda Gabler.

'Belvoir’s new resident director, Adena Jacobs (Persona) presents a poetic, cinematic vision of Ibsen’s famous drama, drawing out its expressionistic imagery and the wild, private impulses of the characters. In a gender-bending twist, she has cast Ash Flanders (one half of queer theatre punks Sisters Grimm) in the title role.' (Source: Belvoir St Theatre website)

'Hedda Gabler is railing against her life. She didn’t marry bogan drug slinger George Tesman so she could play housewife in a monstrous Gold Coast mansion with white leather couches, blingy chandeliers and endless rounds of Aperol Spritz.

'She wants something much more. Now her old flame, Ejlert Løvborg, is out of prison and off the junk. Is he about to slice off a piece of George’s empire? Maybe Hedda can pull some strings to work this to her advantage.

'Logie Award-winning actor Danielle Cormack (Wentworth, Rake) is the Hedda we’ve all been waiting to see. Melissa Bubnic gives us a local version of the Henrik Ibsen classic that is as dangerous and surprising as its heroine.'

A site-specific adaptation of Hedda Gabler, produced 'in the civic spaces of Prahran Council chambers to make resonant how privilege and inherited entitlement intersect with powerlessness and complacency; how our unfulfilled ambitions can implode and private identifications with inherited systems can impede women’s chances to be actual agents within society' (Source: Hotel Now).
