  • "Hedda Gabler is one of the most interesting and intricate characters to appear on stage. Her boredom with her marriage and jealousy of her former lover's success set off a chain of events that result in an untimely death."@en
  • "A ruthless, neurotic woman helps a man who once loved her to kill himself, then kills herself."@en
  • "The play was intended as a tragedy on the purposelessness of life and in particular that imposed on the women of his time, both by their upbringing and by the social conventions which limited their activities. When it was first produced it met with misunderstanding and abuse. -Back cover."
  • "A drama which examines the forces which cause people to commit otherwise inexplicable acts."@en
  • "Hedda Gabler, a deceased General's daughter, marries dull George Tesman and foresees a life of middleclass tedium stretching ahead when they return from a honeymoon they could not afford to a house they cannot afford. Increasingly, she is drawn into the clutches of her admirer, Judge Brack, who seeks to establish a menage a trois. Then a former flame arrives in the brilliant but dissolute Eilert Lovborg to rival her husband for an academic post. After a drunken orgy, the manuscript of Lovborg's treatise falls into her hands and she destroys it. Discovery traps her, her romantic ideas are shattered, and there seems only one way out of the net, the pistols of her father, the General."
