As Hedda Gabler begins, summer is gone and Hedda has returned from a six month honeymoon with her academic husband, George Tesman. Hedda, a free spirit terrified of scandal and gossip, tries to settle in to the humdrum, workaday life she does not want. And then the brilliant philosopher Eilert Lovborg unexpectedly re-enters Hedda’s life. Directed by Ivo van Hove.
