Mary-Louise Parker to Play Hedda Gabler
A few weeks ago, word was released on Roundabout's website that a new production of Ibsen's HEDDA GABLER would likely fill the winter 2009 slot at the American Airlines Theater. But why HEDDA, we wondered. After all, we just received another Broadway revival starring Kate Burton a few years ago. If Roundabout were willing to do it again, it must have a damn good star. And the company sure does.
Mary-Louise Parker, who has yet to sink her teeth into any of the classics, will play Ibsen's shocking female. Ian Rickson will direct, with a new translation by Christopher Shinn.
