An Enemy of the People

An Enemy of the People





Ibsen's provocative play where one man must stand alone to face the forces allied against him.


Story:

An Enemy of the People takes place in a Norwegian spa town, where the water is not only life-giving, but it’s a tourist draw. When Doctor Thomas Stockmann discovers the water is poisoned, he alerts the mayor to the problem — but the mayor may not be as quick to act as Stockmann assumed. Stockmann becomes an unlikely whistleblower.
