Hedda Gabler is a psychological drama by Henrik Ibsen. It follows Hedda, a general's daughter newly married to the scholar Jørgen Tesman, as she chafes against conventional life and manipulates those around her. The play is worth experiencing for its tense dialogue and piercing study of power, boredom, and self-destruction.
