Sometimes, Dear Readers, a play can come along that feels so topical, and so raw, that you may walk out of the theater feeling uneasy. And even more so when you realize that play was originally written in 1882 Norway. Such a play is the new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People”, currently playing at Union Arts Center (formerly ACT). And even with that feel of “ick” as we walked out, I was still thrilled with the knowledge of what theatrical powerhouses we have in Seattle and how, when they come together, can put on such a solid and resonant production.

It is bad for the state if Broadway falters. Broadway will falter if investment dries up. It is as simple as that. (I’m not sure how the “backfill” idea is in keeping with the idea that the credit is designed to stimulate investment, as that investment will have already occurred, but I also see the argument that folks who decided to invest in shows opening later in the fall were expecting the credit, and they may not invest in the future if they feel they were shafted this go round.)
