    Probably Ibsen's best play - indeed one of the best plays written by anyone - and one of the most interesting and complex characters ever devised for the stage. Ruth Wilson sounds like the perfect casting. As a Norwegian, I've never seen an English-language production of any Ibsen drama, though, and most likely never will: it just feels strange when I can enjoy every sutble detail and nuance in the original language, and - although originally unintended, just as it was for Shakespeare - the style of the language relative to modern Norwegian is an interesting element in itself that cannot be replicated in a translation.

    My suggestion: Don't forget (at the end) to add in an undercurrent of smarmy lust, the hidden suggestion of carnal delights, the barely spoken-of hints of future fleshly delights directed by the Judge towards Hedda; she needs to be appalled, slightly intrigued, growing doubtful, and finally repelled by the steamy suggestiveness of it all.

    Not "qualities" Ruth. But you are my favorite actress right now. Traits is what they are. She has many unlkeable traits, they arent qualities.

      Obviously you've got some specific concept of the difference between traits and qualities. Why don't you enlighten us?

    I am getting less and less surprised that people don`t go to theaters any more, watching this contribution for instance.
    The leading actress is so badly educated, she does not even know the play Hedda Gabler. Something about suicide.
    And that is what it looks like.
    If the people involved are so little interested and engaged in their work, why should the audience be interested.

      She is talking that when Ivo approach her only told her that it was a play about suicide. She did not know it was Hedda Gabler. Ivo is known for creating performances that are full of dualities and ambivalences. So yeah she needs to also dig for new information about suicide. Which is something society is not quite sure what it is. Therefore is something that keeps happening and is not resolved. Don’t be so arrogant. Before commenting something like this you should go to the theatre so you can understand why they are meaning. I have seen 22 different montages directed by Ivo van Hove.

      @@josephgosling1983 Look, when Ibsen, the person that wrote that play, was alive, suicide was a great problem in Scandinavia, it was epidemic. Ibsen had a lot of inspiration so to speak. Did several plays on the matter, highlighting different aspects, the wild duck, ghosts- George Bernard Shaw, an English play writer, did stage ghosts on a private base, because it was forbidden at the time.
      This was so much more exciting and still is, how they did it back then.
      We are in the most boring times ever.
      Maybe you should try the old stuff first, to know, what I mean.
      There is a play that dates back into the 17 century, it is called "Hamlet", and it is concerned with suicide as well, even though very oldfashioned, this is more profound. It has been filled with the energy of actors for generations. They might still play it once in a while at places nearby where you live.

      @@ittonohara5327 its very patronizing and ignorant to mention a well known play like Hamlet, other plays by Ibsen, etc. Its shows how little you know about Theatre. I’m sorry if you discover them very recently, but my parents used to perform them when I was a kid

      I'm praying this person is trolling. Ever heard of Hamlet? Probably not, it's pretty underground.
