What's the story?
This 2010 Theatre Royal Bath production of Ibsen’s 1891 play Hedda Gabler starred Rosamund Pike in the title role, with Tim McInnery, Robert Glenister and Anna Carteret. The production was directed by Adrian Noble.
The Theatre Royal Nottingham was one of only five regional venues to receive this prestigious touring production.
Lyn Gardner reviewing the show for The Guardian in 2010 stated:
“It is often suggested that the role of Hedda Gabler is for actresses what Hamlet is for male actors, and I've seldom seen one quite so mad, bad and dangerous to know as the Hedda offered here by Rosamund Pike. She is genuinely thrilling and genuinely scary, fixing everyone with her icy, merciless gaze, before finally turning that fatal gaze upon herself … Adrian Noble's traditional revival springs few surprises, but apart from an over-melodramatic burning of the manuscript, it pitches things just right in putting Pike's magnificent Hedda centre-stage and giving her room to live and breathe.”
