'Hedda' Review: A Deliciously Twisted Reimagining

Nia DaCosta’s adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play “Hedda Gabler” is a deliciously twisted reimagining of the familiar story. DaCosta reunites with her Little Woods star Tessa Thompson to delve into the dark psyche of one of theater’s most unconventional villains, a manipulative woman who hurts just about everyone who crosses her path as she betrays their trust. Updating a number of details, DaCosta finds new ground to explore through the characters, creating an adaptation that feels less like a restaging and more like a monster born anew.
