Odyssey Theatre Ensemble presents director Bart DeLorenzo’s contemporary adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Enemy of the People. When a doctor discovers his town’s hot springs are contaminated, his attempt to expose the truth pits him against powerful interests—and transforms him into an “enemy of the people.” Ripping Ibsen’s classic out of the 19th century, DeLorenzo relocates the action to America in 2026, where battles over public health, economic survival, misinformation and political polarization have become defining features of American life. Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., West Los Angeles, 90025; $20-$43; (310) 477-2055; OdysseyTheatre.com.
Schedule: Aug. 22-Sept. 27: • Fridays at 8 p.m. • Saturdays at 8 p.m. • Sundays at 3 p.m. • Wednesday at 8 p.m.: Sept. 16 ONLY
Bart DeLorenzo directs a contemporary adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play at Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, starring Jay Paulson as a doctor branded an enemy of the people after exposing contamination.
Here’s my interview with Adapter/Director Bart De Lorenzo about his vision for the play, how it reflects today’s political environment, and how he hopes modern audiences will see themselves reflected in the story.
Director Bart DeLorenzo is bringing Henrik Ibsen’s Enemy of the People into the 21st century with a new adaptation that thrusts the play’s central conflicts into sharp contemporary focus.
