The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler at Morgan-Wixson Theatre

Stage Scene LA - Somewhat Recommended

"...The Norman-Wixson, unfortunately, has neither the budget nor the intimacy needed to make Whitty's play succeed, so what you have are actors lost on a cavernous, nearly bare black stage. Acoustics suffer accordingly. The result is a production that often seems more like sitting in on a rehearsal than seeing a fully-staged production. Some of lighting designer William Wilday choices work well (the "we're in hell now" red certainly does), but more pizzazz is needed. Sam Mossler's sound design provides the appropriate cues, but here again the play needs more. (The SCR production had mood-setting original music.)"
