This is the production I’ve been waiting for all year: an adaptation
of Hedda Gabler, directed by
Genius
Award–winner Jennifer Zeyl at the Genius Award–winning On
the Boards, performed by Marya Sea Kaminski, Lathrop Walker, and other
genius actors of Washington Ensemble Theatre. The title
demonstrates these guys know precisely what they’re doing—you’ll
never hear a better summary of Hedda‘s plot. Expect this to be
smart, fast, physical (actors will literally climb the walls),
and maybe a little lewd. (On the Boards, 100 W Roy St, 217-9888. 8
pm, $18, through Dec 17.)
