Tessa Thompson Is in Deliciously Malicious Form in 'Hedda'
A 1950s-set Hedda Gabler adaptation recasts the scheming heroine as a brilliant, bored manipulator whose actions drive a tense, elegantly staged social drama.
A 1950s England-set Hedda centers on a return-home party whose rivalries, rekindled ex-lover tensions, and a consequential gunshot unfold through a revealing flashback.
