Oh my gosh, I meant to book for this and forgot and now Rafe Spall is in it to? Such a great cast, Ruth Wilson is stunning. May have to day seat or Friday rush it!

Rafe Spall added to the cast. Marvellous news! Hope he's playing Tesman I'm thinking it's likely Spall will be George, Kyle Soller as Eilert. Solar, interestingly is the partner of Phoebe Fox who I thought was incredible in Van Hove's A View From The Bridge. |

Got a mid-price ticket for this, looking forward to it. Marvellous play and an excellent cast.

Still dithering on this one, I love the play and love Ruth Wilson but I cannot stand van Hove's productions. I'll probably see what I can get closer to the time.

I find with the NT website that seats (even for "sold out" productions) pop up all the time - I think they are very good at posting returns or release tickets at later dates. Keep checking the NT website. |

I'm not too worried about getting hold of a ticket, just if I'd like it or not. I'll have a watch of the video linked, thank you!

Errr . . . I hope Rufus is checking the payroll for this production because if a set designer is getting paid here then he's being fleeced . . . |

OMGosh. What a stinker!
It's like 'Hedda Gabbler' for dummies. Now I know Hedda isn't generally the nicest of characters but seriously, the way she's written here, if I could have got my hands on a gun I'd have shot her myself after 10 minutes. Ruth Wilson is very good and a lovely stage presence but Hedda here is just the nastiest, most unlikeable creature and she doesn't really have much to do. Everyone else is as equally unlikeable so it's hard to feel any sympathy for anyone other than Tesman. Rafe Spall as Brack is very good at being rather menacing though despite his funny walk which is very penguin-like but Sinead Matthews has a voice like nails down a blackboard which annoyed me desperately. The only one who comes out of it well is Kyle Soller as Tesman who really is too good for Hedda and he should have ditched her at the altar.

Oh dear, my hopes weren't high for this but I do struggle if I dislike everyone in a play, you have to feel some kind of sympathy/compassion for Hedda for this to work but if it's the way it's written unlikely it's going to change through previews. Will have to hope the funny walk is very funny! |

So who's to blame, van Hove or Marber or both?

Left a bit cold by Hedda Gabler. Too much 'acting' going on. All I could think about at the end was 'you've got red on you'.

Oh dear. The NT has another huge stinker on its hands. The entrancing and exiting through the audience is one of the most excruciating things I've ever seen. And Poor Ruth Wilson. Ends up looking like Carrie with all that fake blood all over her. There's zero tension and you just don't care about any of the characters. In previous productions I have seen the burning of the manuscript elicit audible gasps from the audience. Nothing but bored silence in this one. It's almost sold out so luckily if you haven't got tickets you can avoid the horror.

Yes, but Sinead is in it so it can't possibly be considered a stinker. She's wonderful in this, as usual.

Hmmm, doesn't sound good. I'm going later on. Wasn't it Eve Best who did a good Hedda, at the Almeida was it? The thing is, this play illustrares the structure of drama and influences it for yonks after. But difficult to get off the page.

Eve Best was fabulous; it was years later till I realised Cumberbatch had been in it as well!
Love this play, I'm still hoping it can't be that bad.
