HEDDA GABLER

By Henrik Ibsen

This design represents Hedda’s confinement and repetitive existence through the large parallel wooden beams suspended over her head in this American Craftsman house. This set portrays a visual vortex through the use of rooms which diminish in size as they move upstage. The vortex draws the audience into Hedda’s world, while representing Hedda’s never-ending struggle to survive in this environment.
