World premiere: "Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler" In a new version by Erin Cressida Wilson
Directed by Barry Edelstein
Film, television, and stage star Katie Holmes (Broadway’s "Our Town," Off Broadway’s "The Wanderers") brings to life a landmark role in one of the defining masterpieces of world drama. Hedda and Tesman have just returned from their honeymoon—and the cracks in their marriage are already showing. Bored and restless, Hedda tries to control those around her. But as her schemes tighten, her own world begins to unravel. Artistic Director Barry Edelstein, reuniting with Holmes in a vivid new version by Erin Cressida Wilson ("Secretary," "The Girl on the Train"), brings a fresh and emotionally charged lens to this Ibsen classic.
"Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler" is supported by Presenting Sponsors Jean and Gary Shekhter, Lead Production Sponsors Elaine Bennett Darwin, The Sheryl and Harvey White Foundation in honor of Harvey White, and The Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Fund, Production Sponsor Darlene Marcos Shiley, and by Lead Artist Sponsor George C. Guerra (for Katie Holmes as Hedda Gabler). The Old Globe is funded in part by City of San Diego Cultural Affairs. The Theodor and Audrey Geisel Fund provides leadership support for The Old Globe’s year-round activities.
