Lincoln Square Resident Assistant Directs Remy Bumppo’s "Hedda Gabler"

Lincoln Square’s Devon Hayakawa is the assistant director for Remy Bumppo Theatre Company’s production of Hedda Gabler, adapted by Christopher Shinn, based on the literal translation by Anne-Charlotte Hanes Harvey and directed by Artistic Director Marti Lyons, February 5 - March 8, 2026, at Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave.

This Broadway adaptation of Ibsen’s timeless drama presents a powerful Hedda Gabler as she desires to escape from a loveless, ordinary existence. Beginning with the return from her honeymoon, Hedda finds herself bored of her husband, and longing for the days when she was free to exercise her wild and independent whims. With the return of an old flame and a proposition from an amorous judge, she begins a dangerous game, amusing herself by manipulating and destroying everyone around her in an attempt to regain control of her life.
