About the Play:
An Enemy of the People follows a small-town doctor who considers himself a proud, upstanding member of his close-knit community. When he discovers the town’s water supply is polluted, an issue that risks the lives of all citizens, he raises the alarm. But he is shaken to his core when those in power, including his own brother, try not only to silence him, but to destroy him.
Drama Desk Award winner for Outstanding Adaptation and recent Broadway sensation, Amy Herzog’s work unearths the relevance of Ibsen’s tale for our time, weighing the cost of standing up to power when pressured into silence. Ibsen’s tale highlights the reverberating power of citizens who go against the status quo to do what’s right by their community.
