DVD Description
BAFTA-winning actress Diana Rigg stars as the beautiful but manipulative Hedda Gabler in John Osborne's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play. With strong support by heavyweight actors Alan Dobie, Philip Bond, Denis Lill and Kathleen Byron, Emmy-nominated David Cunliffe's play remains, for some, the definitive version of what is arguably Ibsen's best work.

Synopsis
Henrik Ibsen's classic play HEDDA GABLER is brought to the screen in this adaptation, which was originally made for television. Diana Rigg plays Hedda and is supported by Alan Dobie and Kathleen Byron.

Customer Reviews

Oldie but goodie
Diana Rigg as the General's daughter exudes boredom and entrapment. Feels a little dated in its style and treatement but the claustrophibia comes through well in the static set. Bought this as a teaching aid and it has done the job well.

Hedda Gabler
I am not a drama expert so my opinion does not count for much. I enjoy watching the dvd and it will help me inventually to understand the play fully,
