HEDDA - starring Pearl Chanda - Orange Tree Theatre Pearl Chanda stars in HEDDA, Tanika Gupta's brand new adaptation of Ibsen's classic Hedda Gabler, directed by Hettie MacDonald.

Few tickets left (until 19 Nov) but Hedda @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social is terrific, with Ibsen original very smartly adapted by Tanika Gupta and updated to post-war Britain and fringes of the film industry. Knock-out brittleness from Pearl Chanda as Hedda.

Hedda, Orange Tree Theatre review - a monument reimagined, perhaps even improved Hedda Gabler is a Hollywood star of The Golden Age – or rather, she was. She walked off the set of two movies into a five-film deal and didn’t come back. Millions watched her, but only a very select f...

BBC radio drama is in grave danger. Without it we may lose the next generation of writing talent Hundreds of hours of original plays have been cut from the corporation’s programming in recent years. If the trend continues, a valuable training ground for writers will be lost

Interessant article sobre la representació al cinema de la relació entre el poder i el sexe (de pagament i no).
Sobre això, a la memòria em vé aquesta magnífica obra de @tanikagupta.bsky.social, 'Sugar Mummies' (2006), sobre turisme sexual i cosificació.
