Lynne Meadow (Artistic Director) and Barry Grove (Executive Producer) today announced full casting for Manhattan Theatre Club's upcoming Broadway production of a new version of Henrik Ibsen's AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes.

Joining four-time Tony Award winner Boyd Gaines as 'Dr. Thomas Stockmann' and Emmy Award winner Richard Thomas as 'Mayor Peter Stockmann' will be Maïté Alina (Broadway debut) as 'Petra Stockmann,' Gerry Bamman (The Merchant of Venice) as 'Aslaksen,' Kathleen McNenny (Death of a Salesman) as 'Catherine Stockmann,' Randall Newsome (Inherit The Wind) as 'Horster,' John Procaccino (Blood and Gifts) as 'Hovstad,' Michael Siberry (Mrs. Warren's Profession) as 'Morton Kiil,' and James Waterston (Parents Evening) as 'Billing.'

Rehearsals for the limited engagement of AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE begin today. The production will start previews on Tuesday, September 4 and open Thursday, September 27 at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

Tony winner Doug Hughes (Doubt, The Royal Family, The Whipping Man, Defiance) returns to MTC to direct a fresh and provocative version of AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, starring four-time Tony winner Boyd Gaines (The Columnist, Contact, The Heidi Chronicles) and Golden Globe and Emmy winner Richard Thomas (Race, Democracy, Fifth of July).

When Dr. Thomas Stockmann (Boyd Gaines) discovers toxic contamination in the water used at the local baths, he expects to be hailed as a hero. But since the baths are the town's main source of revenue, the community fights to silence him… and Dr. Stockmann learns that there are forces more powerful than truth. An incisive tale about the high price of free expression, AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE makes a timely return to the New York stage in this bold new version by one of Britain's most exciting writers, Rebecca Lenkiewicz.

The creative team for AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE includes: John Lee Beatty (scenic design), Catherine Zuber (costume design), Ben Stanton (lighting design), David Van Tieghem (original music & sound design), J. David Brimmer (fight direction), and Tom Watson (hair & wig design).
