Hedda Gabler

by Henrik Ibsen

Translated by Odd Tangerud

"Hedda Gabler: Dramo en kvar aktoj" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in 1890 and premiered in 1891. The daughter of a general finds herself trapped in a suffocating marriage to an academic husband she never truly loved. When her former lover reappears, newly reformed and academically successful, old passions and jealousies resurface. Bored and desperate for control, Hedda begins manipulating those around her with increasingly dangerous consequences. This masterpiece of literary realism explores one woman's destructive rebellion against the constraints of her life.
