Dr. Stockmann, a spa town doctor, discovers that the sources of drinking and bathing water are riddled with pathogenic micro-organisms. The cause: contamination due to industrial effluence. For the benefit of public interest, Stockmann wants to publish the findings in the newspaper and demands the city council re-routes the water pipes. His proposal meets with approval, influential citizens and local journalists promise their support.
However, his brother Peter, the mayor of the town, raises some serious concerns: The widespread press attention will threaten the economic prosperity of the spa town and the citizens will have to bear the brunt of the high repair costs. Suddenly Stockmann’s support from the town’s policy makers begins to wane. They spread seeds of doubt about his plans and try to cover up the facts of the contaminated water.
Dr. Stockmann insists on transparency and intends to go public on the matter. In an all-important speech, he hopes to win the town over to his way of thinking. He accepts that this will cause a permanent rift between himself and his brother and that he also runs the risk of being ostracised by the community, but for Stockmann the matter has long since ceased to be about the polluted health spa, his target is society as a whole.
Ibsen’s drama wavers on a fine line between honesty and fanaticism. It revolves around the potential for transparency in a commercialised society and the conflict between two disparate brothers.
