This is an extremely difficult character to portray that when I read the script, I just love Hedda and in some way see myself in her but when seeing it onstage she was such a bitch I just needed to punch her on the face 8-}. Anyways, the character’s ambiguity and openness to interpretation is precisely what to love I guess” Linh (4 out of 5 stars)
