Hedda Gabler was written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. The world premiere took place in 1891 in Munich. Steppenwolf produced a version in 2001 starring Martha Plimpton.  A revival on Broadway opened in 2009 starring Mary-Louise Parker and Michael Cerveris. The National Theatre premiered a new version in 2016 starring Ruth Wilson and Rafe Spall. And now, The Artistic Home’s production is playing at The Den Theatre. 

Hedda Gabler is about a woman who is expected to follow the standard roles of wife and mother, but refuses. 

Ariana Lopez (Witch, Eurydice is excellent as Thea Elvsted, who does her best to express herself within the rules of society. Brookelyn Hébert is excellent as Hedda, who rebels against society’s wishes. Todd Wojcik (Witch, Dying For It) is hilarious as her husband, often misunderstanding her. John Mossman (The Pavilion), Dan Evashevski (Witch), Laura Coleman , and Lynne Baker (Beyond Therapy) are all very good in their suporting roles.
