Few tickets left (until 19 Nov) but Hedda @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social is terrific, with Ibsen original very smartly adapted by Tanika Gupta and updated to post-war Britain and fringes of the film industry. Knock-out brittleness from Pearl Chanda as Hedda.

There is an earth-shaking display of acting in Creditors at @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social. I was focussed on every single word, but still the twist blindsided me. What a horrible, horrible person. (I won’t say who!)
