Beginning with the return from her honeymoon, Hedda finds herself bored of her husband, and longing for the days when she was free to exercise her wild and independent whims.

REVIEWS:
"Playwright Christopher Shinn's clear-headed, economical and modern-sounding adaptation moves with surprising swiftness."
Associated Press
"A thrilling new adaptation by Christopher Shinn, a young gay playwright known for edgy contemporary dramas, who puts a palpable present-day spin on the classic without punching you in the face."
Brandon Voss, HX
"Energized and revitalized by Shinn's adaptation, our ears are immediately set at ease with the commendably clear and unfussy syntax. I do not have the next text, but based on the older version I do have, I can say that Ibsen's ironies and subtleties have not been diminished or lost."
Simon Saltzman, CurtainUp
"Shinn's new adaptation nudges Ibsen into the modern passion without disrespecting him."
