The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler

So what is one of drama's most famous suicides to do?

After taking advice from helpful neighbor Medea, Hedda and her servant, Mammy, set out on a perilous quest to return to the imaginative furnace of their creation

Along the way, they meet characters from science fiction, Black feminist theater, TV cop shows, Biblical dramas, as well as a couple of wisecracking, self-hating gay characters from the 1960s

Once Hedda and Mammy arrive at their fiery destination, they face a heartbreaking truth about themselves, their creators, and the forces that make them eternal

"Hedda Gabler, last seen prostrate on a couch with a bullet hole in her head, makes a surprising return in Jeff Whitty's sprightly new comedy ... What's most satisfying to report is the way Whitty takes a premise that could easily have amounted to a revue sketch and transforms it with his giddy wit and fertile inventiveness into a genuine play" ~ LA Times
