“It has to be beautiful. Promise me?”

Scandal, oppression, and pistols… Hedda Gabler is stifled in her lacklustre marriage. As she yearns for freedom and excitement, Hedda begins to manipulate the people around her, including an elusive visitor from her past. In her contorted efforts, the fated Hedda lusts for control over mortality itself, resulting in dire consequences for her life as she knows it.

A brilliant cast of seven take on Ibsen’s most challenging work, ambitiously re-imagined under director Mya Kelln. In melding Ibsen’s poetic naturalism and present influences of minimalist theatre, Kelln’s bold new adaptation breathes new life into a beloved classic.

This searing, modernised tragedy debuts the all-new 13th Night Theatre Company, a collective designed to delivering artistically-demanding stories. Emerging artists from around the world have joined forces to push creative boundaries, demonstrating that challenging theatre can be done by anyone, in any venue, at any level.

13th Night’s fearless revival runs July 2nd - 13th. Infused with Scandinavian poetry, blues, and the odd vine leaf, join us for an unforgettable performance of Ibsen’s masterpiece.
