Teaser Trailer for An Enemy of the People
Robert Falls' new production of Ibsen's timely classic.
When a water contamination crisis puts their community in peril, two brothers face off in a battle of political ambitions and moral integrity. Nearly 150 years after Ibsen's masterpiece first thrilled audiences, it "is startling how current the play's ideas feel" (The New York Times) and remains "a play so necessary, exhilarating to experience" (The Village Voice).

Press & Reviews
For a vista of how deeply cynical America has become in this age of division and manipulation, this moment when you don't know whether the news is real or fake, whether your boss is under investigation, whether the outrage in your Facebook feed is human or was stuck there by Cambridge Analytica, consider this moment at the Goodman Theatre on Monday night.
Henrik Ibsen wrote "An Enemy of the People" 136 years ago, but you wouldn't know it from watching the Goodman Theatre's sleek and calculated new adaptation. Calculated, we'll note, isn't really a bad thing in this tale of a whistleblower who finds poison in the town water supply.
If you leave Goodman Theatre's superb revival of "An Enemy of the People" with your mind whirling from its provocative ideas, credit master dramatist Henrik Ibsen. If Goodman's propulsive production keeps you on the edge of your seat, credit director/adapter Robert Falls.
