"The combination of Kate Burton's vibrant Hedda, Nicholas Martin's graceful direction, and playwright Jon Robin Baitz's shimmering new version make this production an absolute knockout."- Boston Herald

Nicholas Martin reassembles his critically acclaimed Williamstown Theatre Festival production for the Huntington's stage. Hedda Gabler is a powerful drama about a proud and complex woman searching for passion and meaning in her life. Trapped by boredom and social convention, Hedda embarks upon a destructive journey of manipulation, forever altering the lives of those around her.
