An Enemy of the People: An Adaptation of the Play by Henrik Ibsen

A stage adaptation of the drama "An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen in which a Norwegian doctor is shunned by the townspeople after he discovers their famous spring water is really poisoned. ____ When Dr. Stockmann discovers that the water in the small Norwegian town in which he is the resident physician has been contaminated, he does what any responsible citizen would do: reports it to the authorities. But Stockmann's good deed has the potential to ruin the town's reputation as a popular spa destination, and instead of being hailed as a hero, Stockmann is labeled an enemy of the people. Arthur Miller's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic drama is a classic in itself, a penetrating exploration of what happens when the truth comes up against the will of the majority. This edition includes Arthur Miller’s preface and an introduction by John Guare.
