Performance

Hedda Gabler (3x3)

:

After acclaimed productions in Dublin and London's West End, Fiona Shaw re-creates the titular role for Performance with a new supporting cast including Stephen Rea. Nervous and agitated rather than haughty and frigid, Shaw's Hedda breaks with tradition. "Hedda is often called strong-willed," she comments, "but where is the evidence in the play for this? To me, Hedda is terribly ordinary."
