Wilson shines amidst staging's flaws

Despite a remarkable performance from Wilson, this is one of the worst theatrical adaptations of Ibsen I've ever seen. The play's subtext is ripped away, its subtle nuances are lost, replaced with poor stage imagery, at times absurd blocking, and some character decisions that are truly ridiculous. Hedda's wardrobe seems entirely divorced from the character's essence and the play's context. The unnecessary tomato juice spit was the final straw. Wilson's performance, while commendable, is overshadowed by the production's numerous shortcomings. Her portrayal of Hedda's inner turmoil and societal frustrations is compelling, but it is ultimately lost amidst the chaos of the surrounding staging.
