What's the story of Shooting Hedda Gabler?

When offered the lead part in a Norwegian film adaptation of Hedda Gabler, an American actress seizes the opportunity to escape Hollywood – and gain some artistic credibility. She’s running away from her past as a child star, from her present as a tabloid punchline, and from an unfortunate collision between a self-driving Tesla and a member of the paparazzi. But most of all – she’s running away from herself.

What awaits her in Norway is a film set where reality and fiction are blurred by Henrik, the brilliant and demanding director. With every moment being filmed and with the arrival of one of her real-life exes, she becomes unmoored and paranoid. As the atmosphere on set becomes increasingly claustrophobic, Henrik becomes fixated on how to end the movie with a bang.

Who is in the cast of Shooting Hedda Gabler?

The cast is led by Antonio Thomas as Hedda Gabler, Christian Rubeck as Henrik, Avi Nash as Ejlert, joined by Anna Andresen (Emilia, Vaudeville) as Berta, Matilda Bailes (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, ITV) as Thea, and Joshua James (The Vortex, Chichester Festival Theatre) as Jørgen. 

Who are the creative team of Shooting Hedda Gabler?

Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler is freely adapted by Nina Segal and directed by Jeff James.

As ever, our Christmas show will bring together professional performers and members of our exceptionally talented Rose Youth Theatre; what better story to tell with this mix of artists - younger and older - than that of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up? Evan Placey, who is adapting, is a writer I have wanted to work with for years, and I can’t wait to see the magic that he, composer and lyricist Vikki Stone, and director Lucy Morrell, work on this classic adventure. I am proud that the Rose remains committed to providing great nights out in Kingston at an affordable price to families and theatre goers from all walks of life.” Book tickets to Shooting Hedda Gabler at Rose Theatre Kingston Book tickets to Peter Pan at Rose Theatre Kingston Book tickets to A View From The Bridge at Rose Theatre Kingston
