"An Enemy of the People"

An Enemy of the People

Henrik Ibsen, Adapted by Rebecca Lenkiewicz

Pear Theatre

The Cast of An Enemy of the People

Rebecca Lenkiewicz has stripped Ibsen’s original play of some of its extraneous moralizing and sidetracks for a slimmer version of An Enemy of the People that brings the nineteenth century story right into 2017 relevance.  Pear Theatre is now staging this 2008 adaptation where costumes denote a yesteryear long past but where language, circumstances, reactions, and accusations/counter-accusations smack of today.
