An Enemy of the People: An Adaptation of the Play by Henrik Ibsen FROM THE PUBLISHER
Dr. Stockmann attempts to expose a water pollution scandal in his home town which is about to establish itself as a spa. When his brother, the mayor, conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story, Stockmann appeals to the public meeting - only to be shouted down and reviled as 'an enemy of the people'. Ibsen's explosive play reveals his distrust of politicians and the blindly held prejudices of the 'solid majority'. An Enemy of the People premiered in September 1997, only the third time the play has been staged in London this century.
SYNOPSIS
When the famous and financially successful baths in his home town are contaminated, the local doctor insists they be shut down for expensive repairs.
