Senior Drama production
By Mr Jason Golding, Director
The long-awaited opening night of the Senior Drama production has finally arrived. Tonight, our senior students take to the stage for the first performance of Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler.
Trapped in a world where gender and class dictate her every move, Hedda plays games with the lives of others in the hope of having ‘power over someone else’s destiny’.
Grappling with mature themes such as betrayal, coercion and mental health, Hedda Gabler changed the definition of what theatre could or should be in 20th-Century Europe. The play showcases a powerful character’s wit, manipulation and ultimate tragedy.
The 2025 Senior Drama production brings this play to life in a refreshed 1950s setting, in which women can sense the promise of agency that is to come, but is still frustratingly beyond reach.
Tonight, tomorrow and next Friday and Saturday – 7:00 pm in T.B. Millar Hall
