Reading Rep and A Girl Called Stephen have today released production photos from the world premiere production of Harriet Madeley’s queer adaptation of the Ibsen classic Hedda Gabler, which runs until 11 March 2023.
A version steeped in queer rage and suburban monotony, Harriet Madeley’s new adaptation explores how the most famous female character of all time is trapped within a life that’s chosen for her.
Anna Popplewell (she/her), who is best known for playing the role of Susan Pevensie in Disney’s The Chronicles of Narnia franchise, makes her theatrical debut starring in the title role.
Popplewell will be joined by Mark Desebrock (he/him, Hamlet – Almeida West End) as George, Ryan Gerald (he/him, Guilt – Lionsgate, ABC Studios & Netflix) as Brack, Natalie Perera (she/her, Glass Roots – Tristan Bates Theatre) as Thea and Jessica Temple (she/her – Patriots – Almeida) as Isla.
