What if a classic tale could be reshaped with modern twists and turns that leave you questioning everything you thought you knew? Join me, Kyle McMahon, as I sit down with visionary director Nia Da Costa (The Marvels, 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple), superstar Tessa Thompson (The Avengers: Endgame, Creed) Nina Hoss and Tom Bateman to explore how the new Prime Video film 'Hedda' reimagines Henrik Ibsen's iconic play with electrifying creativity.

Unearth how Nia DaCosta’s visionary adaptation amplifies the timeless stakes of 'Hedda Gabler,' with Tessa Thompson breathing new life into the titular character. With Nina Hoss portraying a gender-swapped Eileen Loveborg and Tom Bateman tackling the complexities of George Tessman, this episode promises a deep dive into the innovative storytelling that challenges societal norms and character dynamics. Nina opens up about the liberating challenge of stepping into a reimagined role, enriching the narrative with existential undertones that speak volumes about contemporary issues. Meanwhile, Tom reflects on George Tessman’s internal battle with power and understanding, shedding light on his character's tumultuous relationship with Hedda. Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation that not only celebrates the daring vision behind this adaptation but also offers a fresh perspective on a literary classic that continues to resonate. Tune in for an insider’s look at 'Hedda,' where tradition meets transformation and storytelling reaches new heights.
