Hedda Gabler

By: Henrik Ibsen

Narrated by: Harry Myers, Laura Carmichael, James Parkes, Rachel Atkins, Sarah Whitehouse, Christopher Dane, Fiz Marcus

A poignant study of loneliness, impotent rage and societal expectations breeding a certain kind of madness, this trailblazing play focusses on Hedda Gabler, 'the general's daughter', and her rising feelings of anger and jealousy towards a former schoolmate, fuelled by her lack of control in her own life. When a former suitor comes back into her life, bringing with him all kinds of complication, passion and history, Hedda devises a plot to win back her power... which ultimately leads to a very civilized sort of chaos and, ultimately, tragedy.

Full cast: Laura Carmichael, James Parkes, Rachel Atkins, Sarah Whitehouse, Christopher Dane, Harry Myers, Fiz Marcus.

trully great

the play and the interpretation/ recording are amazing, I wish they’d recorded every novel/play I ever listen to

most amazing voice actress

Laura Carmichael does an incredible job. I am new to the plays via audio books and was very impressed with the production quality. no nonsense, no extemporaneous music, just literature. and by the way the voice actress for Hedda is stunning 😍
