AN Enemy of the People An Adaptation of the Play by Henrik Ibsen

When Dr. Stockmann discovers that his town's water is poisoned, he does what any responsible citizen would do: reports it to the authorities. But Stockmann's good deed has the potential to ruin the town's reputation as a popular spa destination, and instead of being hailed as a hero, Stockmann is labeled an enemy of the people. Arthur Miller's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic drama is a classic in itself, a penetrating exploration of what happens when the truth comes up against the will of the majority.

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) was one of the greatest playwrights of the American theater. His many awards include the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award, the Jerusalem Prize, and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

John Guare is the author of numerous plays including Six Degrees of Separation, The House of Blue Leaves, and Lydia Breeze. He lives in New York.
