Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a great 19th century Norwegian playwright who was considered one of the first prominent figures of modern theatre. Ibsen wrote many famous plays, one of which was the realist classic Hedda Gabler. The eponymous heroine is one of the most dramatic and versatile roles in theater, with productions opting to cast her as either a heroine or villain, and possibly a feminist.
