Description
Shooting Hedda Gabler by Nina Segal is an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, exploring the blurred lines between reality and fiction in the world of film. When an American actress takes on the lead role in a Norwegian production, she seeks to escape her past as a child star and find artistic credibility. As the atmosphere on set becomes increasingly claustrophobic, the actress finds herself unmoored and paranoid, while the director becomes fixated on capturing the perfect shot. This radical and affectionate adaptation delves into the themes of doing whatever it takes to get the desired outcome, raising questions about the nature of art and identity. Published in association with The Norwegian Ibsen Company at Rose Theatre, London in September 2023, this edition coincides with a major production that brings Ibsen's work to life in a new and exciting way.
