AI synopsis of the play (from DeepSeek):
Hedda Gabler (1891) by Henrik Ibsen is a psychological drama about a discontented woman trapped in a stifling marriage. Hedda, the aristocratic and manipulative daughter of General Gabler, has just returned from her honeymoon with the dull scholar George Tesman. Bored and restless, she schemes to control those around her, including her former lover, the brilliant but self-destructive Eilert Lövborg, and the cunning Judge Brack. As tensions rise, Hedda’s games lead to tragic consequences, culminating in her own demise. The play explores themes of power, repression, and the constraints placed on women in 19th-century society.
