Baxter stages 'Hedda'

Guns, roses, tilled soil and feathers. These are just some of the items to be found scattered throughout Christiaan Olwagen’s bold, irreverent and visually-magnificent production of Hedda Gabler, with English and Afrikaans seasons, which runs at the Baxter Theatre.

This award-winning reworking of Henrik Ibsen’s play, with one of theatre’s most enduring femme fatales at its centre, is brought into the 21st century with Rolanda Marais in the distinctly fiery title role. Hedda Gabler will be performed in Afrikaans from Thursday 1 until Saturday 10 May and from Monday 12 to Saturday 24 May, with the same ensemble, when it makes its English debut.
