Just in case you thought you had no need for a translation of a 19th century classic from the pen of Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen to get the blood boiling on an Arctic March night, The Little pitch up to prove you wrong. The heroic Hedda is most usually compared to a female Hamlet, a well-won title given the trail of horrendous husbands, fawning sops, vengeance, hate, lust and deceit which froth frenziedly into a ferocious and violent climax. Kapow.
