The Pennsylvania Players are proud to present...
Written by Henrik Ibsen
"It is a play about being damned and cornered, and you have to feel the pressures on Hedda,'' writes the playwright Jon Robin Baitz in his program notes for his ''new version'' of Ibsen's ''Hedda Gabler,'' at the Bay Street Theater here. Mr. Baitz nails it. One of the most unpleasant women in Western drama, Hedda Tesman, her sadly married name, is alienated and alienating. She has been called repulsive, a symbol of spiritual sterility, ''a poisonous snake,'' ''a hopeless specimen of degeneracy.'' And of course she is ceaselessly fascinating, the eternal mystery woman. Hedda must radiate a glamorous life that is forever lost, ''what it must have been like,'' in Mr. Baitz's stage words, as the daughter of the fabled General Gabler, ''surrounded by men dancing around her.'' At the same time, she must transport the audience into her own internal hell."
