Hedda Gabler

Hedda Gabler, by Henrik Ibsen and Patrick Marber, is currently on until Wednesday at Impact Arts in Ingram Street. Directed by Amanda Beveridge, for NCL and employing the talents of some of the Degree students. As always, Amanda has created a thought-provoking production, full of the details for which she is recognised. Although the setting is modern, the feel of the production has a vintage vibe. I understand that Amanda has combined more than one version of the piece to execute her vision. All the performances are solid and consistent, and special mention for Hedda, played by Emma Arbon and Elise Cochet whose restrained hysteria was appropriately discomforting. Tickets may still be available for the two remaining performances, well worth getting one if possible.
