Synopsis: Arriving home after an extended honeymoon, Hedda Gabler struggles with an existence that is, for her, devoid of excitement and enchantment. Filled with a passion for life that cannot be confined by her marriage or 'perfect home', Hedda strives to find a way to fulfil her desires by manipulating those around her. . .

Notes: Original Playwright - Jean-Paul Sartre

Synopsis: When Jean-Paul Sartre's play, "Les Mains Sales," was first seen in Britain in 1948, it was called "Crime Passionel" and set in an East European country called Illythia, from which the occupying Germans were retreating as the Soviet Union advanced. The play at the Almeida is called The Novice and is adapted and directed by Richard Eyre from "Les Mains Sales." In his version, the time is the present and the country is neither named nor located, though a reference to knee-capping brings its local associations; But political assassination is still with us, as is the possibility that political ideas in advance of their time can be fatal. The Revolutionary Party is led by Hoederer, who plans to form a coalition with the Royalists and liberals. In consequence the party hasdecided that he must be killed and Hugo, his secretary, who has abandoned his wealthy family to join the party, is ordered to shoot him. It is a tale thrillingly told, a serious spellbinder on public and private levels about revolutionary ethics and an unloved social misfit who longs to make an impact on his time but who, like Hamlet, dithers his way to disaster, turning what should have been a powerful political statement into an act of private vengeance. For Hugo, is unloved, particularly by his upper-class wife, Jessica. She is invested with a cool, teasing, taunting contempt and, because she cannot take Hugo seriously, cannot believe in his gun as a serious instrument of terror. She is, in fact, fascinated by Hoederer, finally killed by Hugo in a confusion of sexual jealousy, political principle and the sheer need of an ineffectual rich kid to justify himself by an action ostensibly on behalf of the poor.
