When Dr. Thomas Stockmann learns that the famous and financially successful baths in his home town are contaminated, he insists they be shut down for expensive repairs. Ridiculed and persecuted by the community for his honesty, he is declared an "enemy of the people." Truth and honor are pitched against wild ambition and corruption in Ibsen’s emotional maelstrom. The play, written in 1882 by the ‘father of modern drama’, is as relevant today as it was over century ago and serves as a theatrical touchstone for today’s ongoing concerns about our endangered environment.
