Hedda Gabler, a deceased General's daughter, marries dull George Tesman and foresees a life of middle-class tedium stretching ahead when they return from honeymoon. Increasingly, she is drawn into the clutches of her admirer, Judge Brack, who seeks to establish a ménage à trois. Then a former flame arrives in the brilliant but dissolute Eilert Lovborg to rival her husband for an academic post. This new audio production, with Juliet Stevenson giving an unforgettable performance as the passionate Hedda, brings this classic drama to life.
