Hedda Gabler is a play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.

The world premiere was staged on 31 January 1891 at the Residenz Theater in Munich. Ibsen himself was in attendance, although he remained backstage.

The play has been canonized as a masterpiece within the genres of literary realism, nineteenth-century theatre, and world drama.

Ibsen mainly wrote realistic plays until his forays into modern drama. Hedda Gabler dramatizes the experiences of the title character, Hedda, the daughter of a general, who is trapped in a marriage and a house that she does not want. Overall, the title character for Hedda Gabler is considered one of the great dramatic roles in theater. 

The year following its publication, the play received negative feedback and reviews. Hedda Gabler has been described as a female variation of Hamlet.

Hedda's married name is Hedda Tesman; Gabler is her maiden name. On the subject of the title, Ibsen wrote: "My intention in giving it this name was to indicate that Hedda as a personality is to be regarded rather as her father's daughter than her husband's wife.

My Personal Comments:
A poor and ordinary play script that does not require too much creativity ı presume but considering that it's an old 19th-century play that's quite normal, perhaps it was creative for that particular period of time, ı don't know but what ı know is sure ı can write plenty of those sort of scripts within a couple of months and even better but on the other hand why am ı supposed to do that unless they just want to ignore, underestimate and suppress the creativity.
