HEDDA GABLER
by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Jon Robin Baitz
directed by Michael Menendian
Preview Performance: May 2, 2009 at 8:00pm

Ibsen's tragic, complex study of one of the most compelling and contradictory women in dramatic literature comes to the stage in an electrifying new interpretation by Michael Menendian.

Ibsen’s masterpiece depicts a woman’s inevitable road to tragedy. Hedda has recently married a kind and reliable yet unexciting scholar. She is visited by two old acquaintances: a female schoolmate and another scholar. The former has saved the latter from an unsavory lifestyle, helping him find success as a writer; Hedda is resentful both of his talent and her schoolmate’s influence on it. Out of jealousy and boredom, she proceeds to destroy each of the people around her, and finally herself. Is Hedda a heroine, a villain, a victim… or all of the above?

       The play was good...however I couldn't find the meetup group at all. Glad to see a play, but I would have liked to have met some people as well! 
    •  The people were fun, the coordinator was so helpful and nice, and the show was freakin' fantastic. I can't say enough good about the experience. 
    •  Interesting that Hedda was mentioned as a coward, she seemed to experience life through others, unable to engage, let go and participate. she did not seem progressive, but acting out a repressed life, wish there was more mention of her life with "the Admiral", but maybe that is exactly what we see is her carrying that life out in her relationship with men. Still , thinking about it... Performances were good, very solid show....And especially great to meet and be with all the folks from meet up ...thanks, fran
