Exclusive: ‘Hedda’ Cast on Rebellion, Romance, and Redefining a Classic

Tessa Thompson leads an electrifying ensemble in ‘Hedda,’ a daring new take on Henrik Ibsen’s classic play.

Directed by Nia DaCosta, the film reimagines the story of Hedda Gabler, a fiercely complex and rebellious woman whose decisions set off a night filled with passion, power, and consequence. As old desires resurface and collide with her present reality, the line between freedom and ruin begins to blur.

That Grape Juice caught up with Thompson, DaCosta, and co-stars Tom Bateman and Nicholas Pinnock to discuss the film’s emotional intensity, its feminist spirit, and what it means to reinvent a character as iconic as Hedda for a new generation.
