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
