Hedda
Bille Brown Theatre
Hedda is a re-imagining of Henrik Ibsen’s play Hedda Gabler presented by Queensland Theatre now playing at the Bille Brown Theatre until December 8.
Australian playwriter, Melissa Bubnic, has relocated Ibsen's fiercest leading lady to the Gold Coast in this superb version of the Ibsen classic, that is as dangerous and surprising as its heroine.
Newly married and bored, Hedda is railing against her life. She didn’t marry bogan drug slinger George Tesman so she could play housewife in a monstrous Gold Coast mansion with white leather couches, blingy chandeliers and endless rounds of Aperol Spritz.
She wants something much more. Her old flame, Ejlert Løvborg, is out of prison and off the junk. Is he about to slice off a piece of George’s empire? Maybe Hedda can pull some strings to work this to her advantage.
Starring Logie Award-winner, Danielle Cormack (Wentworth, Rake) as Hedda, the all-star cast includes Jimi Bani, Bridie Carter, Jason Klarwein, Joss McWilliam, Andrea Moor and Helen O'Leary.
