You don't want to go to war on this, Tom. I mean, not now. Not after everything. You don't want to lose more than you can afford.
Brad Birch (Pinter Commission winner, 2016) takes Ibsen's An Enemy of the People into the centre of a very modern scandal. How does Tom Stockmann keep both people and press on side when he makes a discovery about the town's prestigious new Spa?
A taut and rigorous adaptation of Ibsen's classic play, En Folkfiende examines the faultlines of municipal power as media, politics and the public good come head to head in a thrilling drama of the conflict between the personal and the public.
EN FOLKEFIENDE was first commissioned and produced by the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. The first performance was at the Caird Studio, RWCMD in June 2016.
