Hedda Gabler, a masterpiece of modern theater, is a gripping psychological drama that has tested the skills of leading actresses in each generation since its first production in Norway in 1890. Ibsen's portrayal of Hedda presents an aristocratic woman who is spiritually empty, lacking in redeeming qualities. George Bernard Shaw aptly described her as lacking conscience and conviction, remaining petty, envious, insolent, and cruel as a form of protest against others' happiness. Her deep-seated anger and jealousy towards a former schoolmate, as well as her manipulative actions towards her husband and a former admirer, ultimately lead her on a destructive path that culminates in her own tragic downfall. This affordable and beautifully presented edition of Hedda Gabler offers an unforgettable experience for anyone who appreciates outstanding drama or exceptional literature.

Henrik Johan Ibsen (1828 – 1906), was a renowned Norwegian playwright and theater director. Regarded as one of the pioneers of modernism in theater, Ibsen is often recognized as "the father of realism" and stands as one of the most influential playwrights of his era. Among his notable works are Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, When We Dead Awaken, Rosmersholm, and The Master Builder. Ibsen's plays are frequently staged worldwide, second only to Shakespeare in terms of popularity, with A Doll's House being the most performed play globally in 2006.
