The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone.
Dr Stockmann attempts to expose a water pollution scandal in his home town which is about to establish itself as a spa. When his brother conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story, Stockmann appeals to a public meeting - only to be shouted down and reviled as 'an enemy of the people'. Ibsen's explosive play reveals his distrust of politicians and the blindly held beliefs of the masses.
Christopher Hampton's version of Ibsen's classic was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 1997.

Review:
Book Description:
"An unequivocal triumph." --Times Literary Supplement (London)
"Christopher Hampton's new version of the text is also a revelation . . . An Enemy of the People has been reborn as a passionate current debate about the value of the individual . . . The dust has been blown off the original text, and it will not settle for a long time . . . There is a vitality, vehemence and victory here against the odds." --Spectator (London)
"More than any revival of Ibsen's plays I've seen, it creates a sense of place vital to the theme . . . An Enemy of the People is little short of superb, for it gives us both a big, rich, public play and the private drama of two men locked in rivalry that probably goes back to the playpen . . . You want an unforgettable picture of the idealist at his most necessary yet impossible? Here it is." --The Times (London)
An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen, and translated by Christopher Hampton, is an explosive play revealing Ibsen's distrust of politicians and the blindly held beliefs of the masses.
