The production by Hedda Gabler at the Berlin Theatertreffen 2006:

“One of the highlights of the meeting was Ibsen's 'Hedda Gabler' from the Schaubühne Berlin with the 26-year-old Katharina Schüttler in the lead role. As elegant as it is bored, Schüttler's Hedda exudes a self-confidence that, according to Theater heute , embodies 'the current state of emancipation'. Although successful in film, Schüttler remains at the theater and is well on the way to becoming the next German star. "
