Abstract

The article discusses a new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play "An Enemy of the People" by Amy Herzog and Sam Gold. The adaptation incorporates a unique element where a full bar is lowered from the ceiling during the performance, allowing audience members to enjoy free drinks and interact with the cast. The play explores themes of truth, power, and the consequences of speaking out against corruption. The actors' performances, particularly those of Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli, are praised for their contemporary and nuanced portrayals of the characters. The adaptation also deviates from the original ending, offering a more tender and collective resolution. [Extracted from the article]
