Description
Hedda Gabler, a play of comedy and tragedy, explores the thwarted aspirations and hidden anxieties of its characters against a backdrop of contemporary social habits and hypocrisies. Written by Henrik Ibsen, the play follows Hedda Gabler, who opts for a conventional but loveless marriage rather than risk scandal, but ultimately takes drastic and fatal action when her first love returns with a masterpiece that threatens her husband's career. Published in 1890, Hedda Gabler has become one of Ibsen's most performed and studied plays, with a rich history of productions that have tackled its complex themes and characters. This Methuen Drama Student Edition features Michael Meyer's classic translation, accompanied by commentary and notes from Dr. Sophie Duncan, offering a contemporary lens on the play's gender politics and its enduring relevance. This edition provides a valuable insight into the play's enduring themes and its continued relevance in contemporary theatre, making it a useful resource for students and scholars of drama and literature.
