Hedda Gabler
November 30 – December 7, 2002
Vancouver East Cultural Centre
by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by John Osborne

“Who has not, when standing with someone by an abyss or high up on a tower, had a sudden impulse to push them over?” – Henrik Ibsen
The Vancouver East Cultural Centre and Rumble Productions joined together to produce a new look at a classic theatrical work: Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. Adapted by renowned British playwright John Osborne, Hedda Gabler reaches beyond its late nineteenth-century setting to reveal a surprisingly contemporary view into the complexities of human relations. A character tragedy unlike any other in modern drama, Hedda Gabler is the great dramatist’s most controlled and ruthless work, a play whose impact has not lessened since its premiere in 1890.
The production earned five Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards nominations
