What is truth without power? 
 
Doubt spreads faster than disease in Ibsen’s thought-provoking play about truth in a society driven by power and money. 
 
When Dr Stockmann makes an unbelievable discovery about the healing waters in his local baths, he holds the future of the town in his hands, but those with everything to lose refuse to accept his word. As the battle goes beyond contaminated water, barriers are broken in this contemporary production as Ostermeier shows us why this perennial classic will be relevant forever.
