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: My Review
7 / 10

The solid Gaines--who also played the voice of reason in recent revivals of Gypsy and 12 Angry Men--knows how to do decency. And Thomas is good as the priggish, misguided mayor who considers himself the town's moral center (though he seems to recede as his character does).

An Enemy of the People
8 / 10

Never mind that it takes place in 19th-century Norway. The battle between two brothers in An Enemy of the People, Henrik Ibsen's spitting-mad screed against political hypocrisy among polite small-towners, tackles more hot-button election-year issues than an average hour of MSNBC.
