Welcome to our production of Hedda Gabler which is previewing at the time of writing. The production has already created quite a buzz in our Victorian theatre with the audience
quite literally on the edge of their seats. Director and version writer, Richard Eyre, has - together with designer Rob Howell, the cast and the creative and production team - created a play which whilst dressed in the clothes and set amongst the heavy furniture of our great-grand parents' era, reaches forward to 2005 and grips us by the throat.
Funny, provoking and ultimately chilling, this production reminds us both why audiences reacted so strongly for and against Ibsen during his lifetime and why presenting him 100 years on tells
each of us something about ourselves. This projects pack, compiled with Sarah Dickenson and Joanna
Ingham, has been created alongside the rehearsal process to give you some insight into Ibsen's life and work and the creative process behind this production. All of our projects work is
designed to be practical and encourage active participation as well as reflection.
We suggest you refer to the pack as you continue to read and work with the play but if you are new to the play you may prefer to read the synopsis and try out some of the character exercises
before you see the production. As you continue your study, you may like to revisit these early thoughts and see how your ideas have changed and developed. Before your visit to the Almeida, many of you will take part in a workshop led by one of the Almeida Projects team.
These workshops are designed to introduce you to the play and how the production has been made. When you come to the theatre, your group will be met by one of the team who will be
happy to answer questions about the theatre and our work.
Ibsen maintained that each character in Hedda Gabler
contained a facet of his own character. The production reflects
this in the strength and detail of each of the performances.
We hope when you see the production and as you use this pack
to explore the play, you'll begin to see what Ibsen meant and
discover that there is more to Hedda Gabler than Hedda Gabler.
