Two young actresses in explore their own relationships with life, theatre, and female friendship through analyzing Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler.
“To be possessed and destroyed by your characters, that is how you are reborn -- wiser, with ten hearts.” ~ Fornés
“The two women’s search for who Hedda Gabler was is a search for themselves as women in that time.” ~ Barbara Salvadori-Heritage, director of The Summer of Gossensass at The Corner Playhouse, 2013.
