29 September 2023 - 21 October 2023
Shooting Hedda Gabler is a radical and affectionate adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler written by Nina Segal and directed by Jeff James (Persuasion). Ibsen’s classic is reimagined in a brand new play about doing whatever is necessary to get the shot.
Antonia Thomas ( The Good Doctor) will star as Hedda Gabler alongside Christian Rubeck (Succession, HBO), Avi Nash (Barry, Netflix), Anna Andresen, Matilda Bailes (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, ITV) and Joshua James.
Shooting Hedda Gabler tickets at Rose Theatre Kingston are now on sale for performances from 29 September 2023 until 21 October 2023.
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.
