Originally presented in 1882 as an examination of political ambitions, moral integrity and personal/public perceptions of responsibility, this classic of world theatre has been newly adapted by Brad Birch in a version that is stunning in its relevancy to our current times. Updated to modern day Norway the core of the story remains the same – science vs. politics and truth vs. fabrication. Seeming as if it has been ripped from today’s headlines "An Enemy of the People" has whistle blowers, confidential information leaked to the press, and a politician covering the scientific truth with their “alternative facts”.
