SINGER and stage and screen actress Lily Allen comes to Bath Theatre Royal’s Ustinov Studio, from 25th July to 23rd August, starring in the title role of Hedda, a new adaptation of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. The run in the intimate venue is sold out, with only returns available.

Enigmatic and destructive, both of herself and of everyone around her, Hedda Gabler is one of theatre’s most charismatic and complex heroines.

Returning from her honeymoon and already bored with her marriage, Hedda finds herself shattered by a destructive attraction to a seemingly brilliant but dissolute writer, and blackmailed by an older predatory man. Suffocated and betrayed by these violent forces, there is only one choice left to her …

Lily Allen’s most recent stage appearance in 2:22 A Ghost Story earned her an Olivier Award nomination and the Whatsonstage Award for Best Actress. She also starred in the acclaimed production of The Pillowman. On screen she has portrayed Elizabeth Taylor in How To Build A Girl and her music career has seen her win more than 30 awards, including Grammys, Ivor Novello and BRIT awards, and a succession of number one hit singles and albums.
