First performed in 1891, Hedda Gabler is widely regarded as Ibsen’s greatest play and one of the supreme achievements of modern drama. Hedda, a general’s daughter trapped in a dull marriage and constrained by bourgeois convention, manoeuvres the people around her with cold precision — until the consequences become irreversible. The title role is one of the most coveted and challenging in all of theatre.
Translated into English for this edition, the play delivers Ibsen’s psychological realism at its most uncompromising. This free EPUB is formatted for any e-reader.
