An Enemy of the People
An Enemy of the People: A New Version by Christopher Hampton | Christopher Hampton, Henrik Ibsen
4 posts | 21 read | 2 to read
An Enemy of the People concerns the actions of Doctor Thomas Stockmann, a medical officer charged with inspecting the public baths on which the prosperity of his native town depends. He finds the water to be contaminated. When he refuses to be silenced, he is declared an enemy of the people. Stockmann served as a spokesman for Ibsen, who felt that his plays gave a true, if not always palatable, picture of life and that truth was more important than critical approbation.

Saw this play tonight at the Yale Repertory Theater. So timely for such an old play! It‘s amazing how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Strong indictment of populism and party over individual thinking. Cast included Reg Rogers as the doctor and Enrico Colantoni as the mayor, and they were both fantastic in their roles.

The most dangerous enemy of the truth and freedom amongst us is the compact majority.

The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools?
