Abstract
- In this review of the Broadway production of Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People," the author praises Jeremy Strong's performance as Dr. Thomas Stockmann, the whistleblower who uncovers dangerous bacteria in the town's spa waters. The adaptation by Amy Herzog and direction by Sam Gold are commended for their intelligence and restraint. The play's themes of self-interest, corruption, and the spread of disinformation are noted as relevant to contemporary issues, such as the skepticism towards doctors' recommendations during the Covid-19 pandemic. The review also mentions the strong performances of other cast members and the small touches that add depth to the characters. [Extracted from the article]
