Hedda Gabler is a classic play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Hedda, Primitively Speaking is an adaptation by Suzy DeVore.

Hedda Gabler is a recently married woman who is an activist and longs to make her husband who holds beliefs opposing to hers see her ways.  Hedda  realizes she is about to be embroiled in a scandal, and seeks her husband’s help. 

This emotional journey is filled with suspense and drama. With its timeless themes, Hedda Gabler is one of the most powerful and thought-provoking plays of all time. This new adaptation asks the important questions: 

· Can two people with opposing beliefs be together? 

· What motivates humanity to take action or react, particularly in a fiery political climate? 

· How do nature’s primal responses cause us to react?
