Play reading / Casting workshop - "An Enemy of the People"

Next play reading MONDAY 10th NOVEMBER!

(Also with a view to casting for a live reading / radio-play performance in December!).

Play: 'AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE' by Henrik Ibsen.

"Set in 1882, the play explores the conflict between personal integrity and societal norms. The play focuses on Dr. Thomas Stockmann, who discovers a serious contamination issue in his town's new spas, endangering public health. His courageous decision to expose this truth brings severe backlash from local leaders, including his brother Peter, who is a powerful political figure in the town. Set against the backdrop of a community grappling with economic and environmental concerns, the play highlights the often harsh consequences faced by those who challenge established systems. Ibsen’s depiction of this struggle emphasizes the tension between truth and expediency. The character of Peter Stockmann is based on Ibsen’s own uncle, Christian Cornelius Paus, whose political influence and authoritative role in Ibsen's hometown of Skien parallel those of Peter in the play."

This event is part of our fortnightly play readings, Mondays at 7.30pm, in The Guildhall Tudor Kitchen (please go via the back entrance along Whiting Street!).
