The set design was very smart – using boxes to conceal props. Balloons as sound design was also brilliant. Very effective use of technical elements.
What I didn't like
The lighting was a bit confusing at times, with movements that didn’t make sense to me. All in all it was great, but I think it could’ve been refined a bit.
My overall impression
A powerful piece with themes that transcend time. Though the play was written in the 1800s, the characters and situations remain relatable, thoughtfully and thoroughly explored by the brilliant cast. The simplicity of the set allowed for the characters to play freely, while still allowing the audience to really step into the home of Hedda Gabler. The practical sound design layered a texture of reality onto the show, making it feel more tangible and inviting.
All in all, this show was wonderfully executed, thought provoking, and incredibly entertaining. I hope you all get a chance to see The Attic Collective’s: Hedda Gabler.
