"stunning…amazingly contemporary” —The New York Times
TicketsIbsen’s masterpiece unflinchingly leads us to the shocking but inevitable conclusion for his most beguiling antiheroine. Employing methods that virtually defined the modern psychological drama, Ibsen stealthily reveals the bitter conflicts and thwarted longings that lie just below the “civilized” transactions of daily life.
“When Henrik Ibsen…wrote HEDDA GABLER 110 years ago, a woman’s place in society was far different from what it is today. The fact that this psychological drama plays as well now as it did a century ago is apt tribute to the sheer genius of the playwright.” —Record-Journal (CT).

Henrik Ibsen (playwright) (20 March 1828 – 23 May 1906) was a Norwegian playwright and theatre director. Ibsen is considered the world's pre-eminent dramatist of the 19th century and is often referred to as "the father of modern drama." He pioneered theatrical realism, but also wrote lyrical epic works. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, and When We Dead Awaken. Ibsen is the most frequently perform,[3][4] and A Doll's House was the world's most performed play in 2006. Several of his later dramas were considered scandalous to many of his era, when European theatre was expected to model strict morals of family life and propriety. Ibsen's later work examined the realities that lay behind the façades, revealing much that was disquieting to a number of his contemporaries.
