ABOUT
The Experiments play reading series has provided a forum for talented playwrights and theatre makers to continue their creative process. The Monday night readings give emerging artists the opportunity to hear their developing works read by professional actors and receive valuable audience feedback. Experiments remains an artist driven service organized around shifting themes to allow a larger, under-served theater community to experience a greater diversity of programming.
Trying for Hedda is loosely based on Hedda Gabler. Loosely as in, imagine if you were in a room where Hedda Gabbler had once been. Perhaps years ago. Or perhaps in the way a creature who is not constrained to the laws of time has been in a room. And you smell her perfume. And it makes you choke. It almost kills you. And you are so close to entering the valley of the dead, but then Hedda, from the heavens, gives you her dress, and asks you to be the next Hedda. To usurp her. That is Trying for Hedda.CREDITS
