All the rooms reek of lavender and rose petals. There's something dead about it. Like flowers the day after a ball.
Returbaning to her home town in the house of her dreams, her husband with a new job on the horizon, and a feeling of change in the air. Yet, for Heather, there is only the feeling of boredom, a feeling as futile as it is fatal.
A powerful and emotionally charged play about a woman's separation and isolation from the affluent, materialistic society that she has become a part of. Set in 1960s Edgbaston,
Heather Gardner
is a fresh and stylish new take on Ibsen's
Hedda Gabler
.
It is written by one of the UK's most promising young writers Robin French, whose first play,
Bear Hug
, won the Royal Court Young Writer's Festival and was produced at the Royal Court in 2004, where it earned an extended run.
