Pear Theatre Presents Ibsen's AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

Pear Theatre presents "An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen, October 20 - November 12, 2017.

Although written in 1882, Ibsen's story of a altruistic man undermined by people concerned with profit still rings disturbingly true. Dr. Stockmann has discovered serious contamination in the town's new bathing complex, an enterprise which had promised to revitalize the town economy.

Unwilling to undertake the expense of remediation, however, the town mayor - his own brother - accuses Stockmann of fabricating the story to enrich himself, and manages to turn most of the town's population against the doctor and his family. Ibsen examines the moral dilemmas inherent in whistleblowing, as well as the sometimes ephemeral nature of truth itself. Ray Renati directs.
