Lynn Wells Nelson: DIRECTING HEDDA

The Swan’s Song Theatre is about to close its doors if it can’t produce a successful play. Each of the Artistic Directors has hired a separate Director, independent of each other, to direct HEDDA GABLER. The newly hired directors have conflicting styles, one is a classicist the other a revisionist, and each of these two women have issues of their own. Most of the pre-cast show have fled to other productions except for the two female leads. 4F/2/M; 1Set
