PUBLIC ENEMY at New Fortune Theatre

– “How far will you got to tell the truth?”

Ibsen’s blistering classic is brought up to date in David Harrower’s taut, tense and

incisive modern dress 90-minute adaptation.  Though written in 1882, Enemy of the

People reveals truths about contemporary society.  Things are not what they seem in

this “raw and punchy adaptation” from playwright David Harrower (Blackbird) which

premiered in 2013 at London’s Young Vic. When Dr. Stockmann discovers that the

waters of a new public spa are toxic, he expects gratitude and glory. Instead, his

disclosure makes him the most hated man in town.
