Synopsis

Henrik Ibsen is the father of modern drama and his 1882 drama “An Enemy of the People” (“En folkefiende”) was one of his more controversial works. In the play Dr. Stockmann discovers that the new baths built in his town are infected with a deadly disease that requires they should be closed until they can be repaired. However, the mayor of the town (the Burgomaster), who is Stockmann’s brother Peter, rejects the report and refuses to close the baths because it will bring about the financial ruin of the town.
