Hedda Gabler

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Hedda Gabler

Play by Henrik Ibsen, first produced 1891. Trapped in small-town society, Hedda Gabler takes out her spiritual and sexual frustrations on everyone from her ineffectual academic husband to the reformed alcoholic writer Lövborg. When her mean-spirited revenge backfires, she commits suicide.

The play was first published in Norwegian in London in December 1890 (and later the same month in Copenhagen); it had its world premiere in Munich, Germany, in January 1891.
