There are a long list of iconic theatre roles that people want. For men, the list is small but mighty. But for female roles in theatre, the list of characters we all long to play is beautiful and delicious. One of those iconic roles is Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler.
The play, which is titled Hedda Gabler, was adapated by Nia DaCosta starring Tessa Thompson and it is a beautiful “modernized” take on Ibsen’s work. The setting is the same, the language is the same, but there is a more modern feel to both Thompson and DaCosta’s work in this film and it is one of the more breathtaking adaptations of this year’s film slate.
