Description:
Flemish director Ivo van Hove is the artistic director of Holland’s
leading repertory company, Toneelgroep Amsterdam, and is known throughout
Europe as one of the continent’s true theatrical innovators. At
NYTW, van Hove previously directed visually rich and emotionally complex
productions of More Stately Mansions (1997, OBIE award) and A Streetcar
Named Desire (1999). This ingeniously imaginative director and his longtime
collaborator, production designer Jan Versweyveld, return to NYTW with
Ibsen’s masterpiece HEDDA GABLER, in a translation by Christopher
Hampton. Elizabeth Marvel, who won an OBIE award for her portrayal of
Blanche DuBois in van Hove’s production of Streetcar at NYTW,
will play Hedda.

About
the artists:
As a founding member of De Tijd, Ivo van Hove developed an eclectic
repertory mixing both classic and neglected texts. In 1990, he became
the artistic director of Het Zuildelijk Toneel which, under his leadership,
quickly became one of the Netherlands’s most prominent national
repertory companies. Ivo van Hove is also noted for staging texts from
outside the theater, such as film scripts and opera librettos. Major
recent international productions include stagings of John Cassavetes’s
film Faces and Marguerite Duras’s India Song. For New York Theatre
Workshop, Ivo van Hove directed Eugene O’Neill’s seldom
seen More Stately Mansions (OBIE award for direction), Tennessee Williams’s
A Streetcar Named Desire, and Susan Sontag’s Alice in Bed. Ivo
van Hove led the Holland Festival for several years and is currently
the artistic director of Toneelgroep Amsterdam.
