- Title
Un-"blocking" Hedda and Medea through Feminist "Play" with Traditional Staging Forms.
- Authors
Shanahan, Ann M.
- Abstract
The article discusses the feminist theories in theatre production to empower female characters whose creativity is limited by prevailing social conventions as shown in Ibsen's play "Hedda Gabler," and Euripides's play "Medea." The female characters in both plays are trapped in the circumstances that led them to kill offspring and eventually depart through worldly interventions. Hannah Scolnikov's book "Woman's Theatrical Space," traces woman's evolution from the home to societal positions.
