At the website of Kilden Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Hedda Gabler:

"Hedda Gabler is a tremendous personality. One fears her, admires her and desires her. At the same time, she is a wandering disaster, for herself and her surroundings. She is a person who has lost the hold of her own existence. How could a person so full of vitality, intelligence and charm be so filled with a thorough emptiness and loneliness beneath the surface? Hedda is unable to do something, to transform her life and fill it with a sense of direction. She simply can't manage to lift herself out of loneliness. Which convictions lie in the shadow of her conscious, leading her choices?

Newly married Hedda doesn't love Jørgen (George), the man she chose to marry. She has started to despise him, her chic dream house and herself in life with him. As a result, she can't be herself or true to herself in meeting with her husband. So why is she choosing - as we all do from time to time - the destructive? What kind of self-hatred is there to drive Hedda away from the one she really loves, drives her away from devoting herself to another and thus find the opportunity for happiness?"
