Hedda is a remake of the Victorian Period Drama Classic written by Henrik Ibsen to be directed by one of the best young and upcoming producers in the world, Matthew John. Hedda Gabler is a classic of realism, nineteenth century play writing, considered one of the world’s greatest dramas. The character of Hedda is considered by many critics to be the "female Hamlet," portrayed as an idealistic heroine fighting society, a victim of circumstance, a prototypical feminist, or a manipulative villain. Even though there have been previous versions of the drama, this is the first time it has been shot with the latest production values, such as HD and high quality audio. The film is a UK production being shot in the South West of England and is made up of a very talented cast. The costume design team has individually designed many of the female characters outfits and the film is quickly becoming an extremely lavish production. The production also makes use of a specially commissioned new translation from the Danish original into contemporary English. Please take a few minutes to check out this official website where you can see photos of the costumes and set designs that have already been done. The website is being continually updated with news of developments and events.
