From the ICCT website:

When Oscar Wilde first saw Hedda Gabler in 1890, he said, "I felt pity and terror, as though the play had been Greek." Compared to Ibsen's earlier plays, Hedda Gabler was different. In this play, we find some of Ibsen's most memorable prose in a tragic interplay of psychological and linguistic drama. Ibsen was the founder of modern prose drama, known for his political and social commentaries. His plays were filled with realistic portrayals of women and their troubles in modern society. His tragedies were about ordinary people, and Hedda Gabler is one of his most memorable heroines!
