Closing
An Enemy of the People (Closes 13th April)
Starring Doctor Who’s very own Matt Smith as Dr Stockmann, An Enemy of the People opened in February at the Duke of York’s Theatre.
Thomas Ostermeir’s contemporary reimaging of Ibsen’s classic play proves that the themes are still as relevant today as ever. The thought-provoking play explores the truth in a society driven by money and power.
An Enemy of the People tickets are available now.
The play follows Dr Stockmann who makes an unbelievable discovery about the healing waters in his local baths. He finds the water to be contaminated and refuses to be silenced. When the rest of the town refuses to accept his word he becomes, An Enemy of the People. The battle continues beyond contaminated water and the play proves why this perennial class will remain relevant forever.
Joining Matt Smith as Dr. Stockmann are Jessica Brown Findlay as Katharina Stockmann, Priyanga Burford as Aslaksen, Zachary Hart as Billing, Paul Hilton as Peter Stockmann, Nigel Lindsay as Morten Kiil and Shubham Saraf as Hovstad.
