Photos: ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE to Open at Odyssey Theatre in Bart DeLorenzo Adaptation
Jay Paulson leads a cast that includes Jason McBeth, Cara Mitsuko and Dennis Dun in the six-week run.
Director Bart DeLorenzo brings Henrik Ibsen's 'Enemy of the People' squarely into the 21st century with a new adaptation that thrusts the play's central conflicts—between public health and economic survival, individual conscience and collective will—into contemporary focus. The Odyssey Theatre Ensemble production opens for a six-week run.

When Dr. Tom Stockmann discovers that the waters of the local hot springs are contaminated, the solution seems obvious: shut them down before more people are harmed. But protecting public health comes with a devastating price. As financial interests, political expediency and public opinion collide, Stockmann finds himself branded not a hero, but an 'enemy of the people.'
The Odyssey cast includes Jay Paulson as Dr. Stockmann; Jason McBeth as his brother, the town mayor; Cara Mitsuko as his wife, Kate; Dennis Dun as his father-in-law, Martin Kiel; DeJuan Christopher and Clay Hollander as the editor and reporter of local news site The People's Voice; and Lauren Campedelli as the news site's wealthy backer.
Performances continue through Sept. 27. For more information, go to OdysseyTheatre.com.
