Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler
Doug Hughes
"Hedda Gabler, last seen prostrate on a couch with a bullet hole in her head, makes a surprising return in Jeff Whitty's sprightly new comedy…What's most satisfying to report is the way Whitty takes a premise that could easily have amounted to a revue sketch—a series of gags of diminishing returns—and transforms it with his giddy wit and fertile inventiveness into a genuine play.“ —Los Angeles Times. ”Jeff Whitty's new play, THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF HEDDA GABLER, is a valentine to dramatic literature, the creative process and the power of the imagination. But it's also a gleefully delirious, wildly imaginative ride that owes as much to The Simpsons and The Wizard of Oz as it does to Ibsen and Sophocles…This play never fails to stimulate, entertain, dazzle and move. If a universe of fictional characters truly does exist, Whitty's riffs will be sucking air for a very long time.“ —OC Weekly. ”Breaking the fourth wall, Whitty celebrates the joys of theater, and if powerlessly watching "
— The Hollywood Reporter
