| I pretty much agree with the first post. And there is some very sloppy writing as well ... In Act One, after one of the group sessions, our heroine is accused by a fellow rehab patient of inventing the biography she presented in 'Group'. 'That;s the story of Hedda Gabler' he says. It apparantly was. Her response (she;s an actress in every day life, we saw her in 'The Seagull' in the opening scene) is 'I'm an actress. No, I'm a Seagull'. He says (I believe) 'I don't know that reference'. If one picks up a paraphrase of Hedda Gabler one likely knows The Seagull. But lets pretend he 's only read one play ever (or I may have misheard the line). In Act Two, our heroine calls out the same guy, who is (spoiler) now working at the clinic, asking why all of his references are to cartoon characters ... "Haven't you read any books?" He doesn't really defend himself. Although in Act One he calls her on 'stealing; the plot of HEDDA GABLER. This is like a first draft before the author or director or producer picks out all of the obvious inconsistencies. |

| 1) He is not going to play her game, so blocks her attempts to emphasise her theatricality. 2) Hedda Gabler is a play, he has likely seen it (in the pub theatre he mentioned) rather than read it. Macmillan knows what he is doing. |
