Hedda Gabler (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈˈhɛdːɑ ˈɡɑːbləɾ]) is a play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It was published in 1890. It premiered at the Moscow Art Theatre that same year. It is recognized as a classic of realism, nineteenth century theatre, and world drama.
The title character Hedda, is considered one of the great dramatic roles in theatre, and infinitely various.
Hedda's married name is Hedda Tesman; Gabler is her maiden name. On the subject of the title, Ibsen wrote: "My intention in giving it this name was to indicate that Hedda as a personality is to be regarded rather as her father's daughter than her husband's wife."
Hedda Gabler is a film based on the Victorian Period Drama Classic Hedda Gabler, written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. One of many film adaptations of this play, the 2014 film Hedda Gabler was produced, adapted and directed by Matthew John.Hedda Gabler is an example of realism in nineteenth century play writing, and is one of the world’s best known and most performed dramas. The film was shot at Maunsel House.
The title role is played by Rita Ramnani.
Hedda, beautiful daughter of the late General Gabler, returns from her honeymoon with scholar husband Jorgen to confront the boredom and banality of married life. Although she has little more than amused contempt for her husband, she is pregnant by him and is revolted by the thought of carrying his child and the changes that motherhood will impose upon her future. When the re-appearance of an old flame of hers threatens both Jorgen's career prospects and her own amour propre, Hedda contrives to bring about Lovborg's destruction but, in the process, also brings about her own.
Hedda Gabler is a 1920 Italian silent drama film directed by Gero Zambuto and Giovanni Pastrone. It is based on the 1890 play Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen.
Welcome home Macbeth
It's been a long long time
And everyone knows you're here
It's easy to see they care
Banquo's been and gone
He's seen it all before
He took it and then he did walk it
He shook it and then he did rock it
And you know it's true
You never saw things quite that way
She knew it all
And made you see things all her way
Somebody knows for sure
It's gotta be me or it's gotta be you
Come on along and tell me it's alright
It's alright by me
Alas for poor Macbeth
He found a shallow grave
But better than a painful death
And quicker than his dying breath
