SUCCESSION Star Jeremy Strong Will Return to Broadway in AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

Seaview and Patrick Catullo will present Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG Award-winner Jeremy Strong (Succession) in a new Broadway production of Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, featuring a new adaptation by Amy Herzog, directed by Tony Award- winner Sam Gold. The production will premiere on Broadway in early 2024 at a theater to be announced.

Complete cast, design team and theater will be announced at a later date.

Strong made his Broadway debut in 2008, starring opposite Frank Langella in A Man For All Seasons.

Set in a small Norwegian spa town, Ibsen's An Enemy of the People is about Doctor Thomas Stockmann, a man of principles who discovers that the spa's water is poisoned. He naively expects the mayor to greet the truth with gratitude, but the town's political machine will brook no threat to its prosperity, even if it means letting thousands of people be sickened. Doctor Stockmann becomes a whistleblower, and the public campaign against him mounts, setting up a moral battle between a lone truth teller and a society desperate for self-preservation.
