Janet Suzman in Hedda Gabler (1972) / P.1/14 / Act I, scene 1, prolog

I adore Ms. Suzman's version, but it's FIONA SHAW'S that is absolutely brilliant and true.  No smarminess and coldness with her interpretation; just a frightened, confused woman.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've also been looking for this for a long time.

Thank you for uploading! I've been looking for this version of HG for years. It's probably one of the best HGs around. It's the combination of Suzman's beauty and allure matched with lightening intelligence, quick reactive turns of emotion; a testament to this amazing and matchless actress. Hoping this will come out on DVD (instead there's the stilted Ingrid Bergman version). Hope to see more BBC Play of the Month series from that year '72. Still seeking Glenda Jackson film version of HG.
