In 1999, Bening returned to the stage for the first time in 10 years playing the title role in Hedda Gabler at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Times praised her performance, saying “Bening uses her vocal instrument to fine effect, without throwing it around. . . . In the movies you don’t always hear what Bening can do with that voice, especially when she’s playing virtuous, “sensible” types. . . . But Ibsen’s antiheroine–thwarted sensualist, a woman wrestling with her inner troll, belle of a ball that never comes–is neither virtuous nor sensible. She’s no easy-to-read villain, either, nor a mere vindictive brat, though plenty of actresses have reduced her thus. Bening lays into the venomous sarcasm mighty heavily, but she’s cagey enough to avoid reductive extremes.”
