Henrik Ibsen's AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE by
Rebecca Lenkiewicz, directed by Tony Award winner

Starring four-time Tony Award winner Gaines as 'Dr. Thomas Stockmann', Emmy Award winner Thomas as 'Mayor Peter Stockmann',
Maïté Alina (Broadway debut) as 'Petra Stockmann,'
Gerry Bamman (The Merchant of Venice) as 'Aslaksen,'

John Procaccino (Blood and Gifts) as 'Hovstad,'

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 production will start previews on Tuesday, September 4 and open Thursday, September 27 at MTC's
Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).
