A Bee in the Heart of Her

Dive deep into the voices of iconic Ibsen characters with A Bee in the Heart of Her! 🌼

Have you ever wondered what Nora Helmer or Hedda Gabler would say if they broke free from their playwright's words? In this riveting new work by Sibyl Kempson, these remarkable women convene in a weaving workshop led by Mrs. Sørby at a rundown community center. Join them as they confront the challenges of mistranslations, misunderstandings, and the quirks of society that Ibsen may have overlooked.

🎶 Featuring original music composed by Robert M. Johanson from Nature Theater of Oklahoma, this performance allows these women to finally share their narratives and set the record straight!
