The reviews are in, Hedda Gabler's great, and arrives in London on March 15th!
1.Rosamund Pike as Hedda Gabler
Hedda Gabler has been touring for a while now and every review so far has credited Rosamund Pike with the ability to make her audience care about this conundrum of a character, who's both morally vacant and endearingly tragic. She's also stunning.
2.Tim McInnery
He's a baddie again! Playing the brutish, dangerous Judge Brack who delights in toying with Hedda, Tim McInnery is great for these parts. Most recognisable perhaps after his namby pamby role in Notting Hill, it's more of his dastardly Joliffe in Channel 4's The Devil's Whore that we get to see in Hedda.
3. Unapologetic Ibsen
The straight-talking Norwegian playwright is completely unafraid of the hard truths told through his characters, and Hedda Gabler is a case in point. Bored out of her mind after marrying her lacklustre fiancé (Robert Glenister) she entertains herself with some dark manipulation and toys with the male egos in her life. Stacked with flawed characters and strained circumstances, there's more than one reason Hedda Gabler is Ibsen's most famous play.
4. Adrian Noble's production
Prepare for elegance. Richmond Theatre itself is a tad grand and Hedda Gabler calls for a well-paced, powerful production coated in elegance. The reviews so far assure us Londoners that we can count on Noble to pull this off with pitch-perfect grace.
5. Rosmund Pike!
YAY! We love her, she's great.
