An Enemy Of The People
Schaubühne’s potent adaptation catapults Ibsen into a modern world of environmental and financial crises, becoming a mirror for our times.
When Dr Stockmann discovers that industrial pollution is contaminating his spa town, he knows the right thing to do. But the inconvenient truth is unwelcome in a community whose survival depends on selling toxic water to tourists. As the cover-up gathers pace, can a solitary whistleblower avoid being brought to his knees?
Studded with contemporary political and musical references, the production builds to an explosive final act in which you are invited to join the debate.
Thomas Ostermeier is renowned internationally for 'shaking up the classical repertoire' (New York Times).
