Stage: Hedda Gabler (Berlin)

Hedda Gabler; Deutsches Theater, Berlin; May, 2013

One of the major events of the Berlin theatre season is the annual May Theatertreffen, featuring the ten productions selected by a jury as the best of the previous year in the German-speaking theatre. Often one or even two Ibsen productions are among this number, but there were none in 2013, although two Enemy of the People productions, both from Berlin, were nominated. On one of the free nights during the festival, however, I was able to attend a major Ibsen event in Berlin, the premiere of a new Hedda Gabler by one of the leading contemporary German directors, Stefan Pucher.
