An Enemy of the People - 2012 - Broadway History , Info & More

This fall on Broadway, the political is about to get very personal. In this fast-paced, two-hour thriller, Dr. Thomas Stockmann (Boyd Gaines) discovers a toxic secret that threatens the health of his entire community. The doctor expects to be hailed as a hero, but his brother, Mayor Peter Stockmann (Richard Thomas), believes the information will destroy the town, forcing the men into a passionate confrontation of political will and personal ethics.



Gaines and Thomas play the clashing brothers in this scintillating, and often surprisingly humorous, new version of Ibsen�s AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR An Enemy of the People

An Enemy of the People
5 / 10

Rebecca Lenkiewicz's 'new version' of 'An Enemy of the People' is yet another attempt to update Henrik Ibsen's smug 1882 satire about a visionary doctor (Boyd Gaines) who becomes a pariah when he makes a discovery that threatens to gut the economy of the hypocritical small town in which he lives. (Yes, the doctor is a self-portrait of the playwright as genius.)

Richard Thomas Yells, Sneers in ‘Enemy’
4 / 10

Richard Thomas does everything but twirl his mustache as the bogeyman in the Broadway revival of “An Enemy of the People.” That’s because he doesn’t have a mustache to twirl. The other accouterments of villainy -- black top hat and bowtie framing a lip-curling sneer, cape and cane wielded with menacing flourishes -- are all accounted for in Doug Hughes’s clipped vaudeville of a production.
