Henrik Ibsen’s riveting story of power, influence, and self-determination.

Where power is performed, and freedom is fatal

Hedda Gabler is newly married, newly moved, and already suffocating. Surrounded by ambition, expectation, and ghosts of the past, she wrestles with desire and destruction in a world that refuses to let her breathe.

Henrik Ibsen’s masterpiece of power, manipulation, and entrapment blazes with startling contemporary force. Fierce, stylish, and devastatingly funny, Hedda Gabler dares us to witness one of theatre’s most electrifying figures as she takes control the only way she knows how. 

Oslo English Players presents Hedda Gabler — performed in English — at Karpedammen Scene, Akershus Festning, throughout July 2026.

The show runs for 2 hours and 20 minutes including intermission.
