Valley Players is happy to announce its upcoming production of Resolving Hedda—a madcap new play which explores what happens when a character in a play takes matters into her own hands.
Hedda Gabler, Ibsen’s tragic heroine, has always suffered from an impulse control disorder. But in Jon Klein’s contemporary version, the newly self-aware Hedda goes off the rails as she takes a crack at changing the course of the play – to wit, an ending that doesn’t include her death!
Each adjustment the snarky Hedda makes to try to change her destiny is thwarted by the other characters (and sometimes Hedda herself!) who are trying like mad to follow the original script.
This ingenious, zany play has kept audiences captivated, and laughing, until the final death-defying moment.
Showtimes are October 20, 21 & 22 at 7 pm.
Intended for mature audiences
Additional dates at the Yountville Community Center: October 7, 8, 14 & 15 at 7 pm and October 9 & 16 at 2 pm.
