A week in the life of Hedda Gabler's Lizzy Watts
Lizzy Watts is currently starring in the touring production of Hedda Gabler, which originally ran at the National Theatre in December last year. Directed by Ivo van Hove, the show won critical acclaim including a five-star review from WhatsOnStage.
Based on the original Ibsen play, and adapted by Patrick Marber, the show sees Hedda trapped and despondent in a marriage she seems uncertain of.
Watts' previous theatre credits include Strife at Chichester Festival Theatre, A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Globe and The Angry Brigade and Artefacts at The Bush.
