Product Description
BAFTA-winning actress Diana Rigg stars as the beautiful but manipulative Hedda Gabler in John Osborne's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play. With strong support by heavyweight actors Alan Dobie, Philip Bond, Denis Lill and Kathleen Byron, Emmy-nominated David Cunliffe's play remains, for some, the definitive version of what is arguably Ibsen's best work.

I chose this for the actors and expectation of interesting and witty script. I was not disappointed. Lovely clothes, Beautiful English properly spoken. shock ending but not unexpectedly matched character of the main player.

Diana Rigg as the General's daughter exudes boredom and entrapment. Feels a little dated in its style and treatement but the claustrophibia comes through well in the static set. Bought this as a teaching aid and it has done the job well.
