Production photos have been released for Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s latest production, Hedda.

In collaboration with Bristol Old Vic Theatre, Lucy Kirkwood’s Hedda will be presented as a live stream for home audiences from 18-20 November.

Based on Ibsen’s masterpiece Hedda Gabler, this production transports viewers to a doer-upper in 21st century Notting Hill.

Hedda feels trapped by the prospect of normality. Having just returned from Honeymoon with George, an academic who she doesn't love, a future in this utterly boring environment terrifies her. With George occupied with yet another paper on robotic ants and his dowdy sister Julia fussing over the prospect of aunthood, Hedda naturally tried to make things more interesting. Attempting to gain power over others however, leaves her caught between three men.

Ultimately something has to give.
