Ibsen's Hedda Gabler Comes to GW

Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler was performed this weekend at the Dorothy Betts Marvin Theatre. Gabler is one of Ibsen’s most well known plays, and tells the story of a socially devious and ever climbing housewife who believes she has been put into the wrong by marrying a lack luster scholar.

The play opened for a special preview on October 29^th to great reviews, and had a theatrical run until a November 2^nd matinee. Alan Wade directed the play and Samantha Schaeffer designed the beautiful set. The play stared Patrick Pasake as Hedda’s husband, George, and Madeline Ruskin as Hedda Gabler.

Hedda Gabler is the Marvin Center’s second Mainstage performance of the fall semester. The next performance will be Danceworks, which begins its theatrical run on November 20^th, at 7:30 pm. for more information on shows and events at the Marvin Center visit their website at http://gwired.gwu.edu/marvincenter.
