  • Hedda Gabler
    by Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906)
    Translated by Edmund Gosse (1849-1928)
    and William Archer (1856-1924)
    Hedda Gabler is a play first published in 1890 by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. In it, Hedda Gabler, daughter of an aristocratic General, has just returned from her honeymoon with George Tesman, an aspiring young academic, reliable but not brilliant, who has combined research with their honeymoon. The reappearance of Tesman's academic rival, Eilert Lovborg, throws their lives into disarray. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia by wildemoose)

      This is read too slowly, if you speed it up, it helps. Ibsen first learned form the standard dramatic form of the time called a “well-made play”. which revolved around complicated plots and well-timed confrontations. It should be fast-moving.

    I have to read this play for English class. Although the dialogue is slightly different to the book version my school provided, it's still the same story and has made reading this a lot less boring and a lot quicker too. Thank you for uploading this

    George is annoying enough on his own to make the play insufferable. He's like a kid who's just learned a new word ("eh?") and wants to use it all the time to impress people.

    While I appreciate the effort, this is read too slowly and without emotion. This needs to be felt, not read. I appreciate the clarity of the performers language however.

  • @hakonsoreide

    Not the best translation, nor the worst, but the terrible reading/acting, and the sound quality or lack thereof, definitely makes it not worth the waste of three hours. Better just to read the play yourself in half the time, or spend a few minutes finding better performances.
    I didn't listen to the whole thing, just a few spots just to see if they messed up some of the crucial parts to get right. They did. Though I've also seen it done worse in productions where the translation completely destroys the subtext when whoever adapted it thought they wanted to make some "improvements" to the dialogue.
    There is a reason an academic or professional interest in Ibsen is one of the main reasons people learn Norwegian: it's so easy to ruin his text in translation the only way to know you get it right is in Danish or Norwegian.
