NYU Tisch Departments of Grad Acting and Design for Stage and Film Class of 2026 Present

An Enemy of the People

Amy Herzog’s streamlined adaptation of the Ibsen classic is a vibrant and compelling theatrical experience. A small-town doctor considers himself a proud, upstanding member of his close-knit community. When he discovers a catastrophe that risks the lives of everyone in town, he raises the alarm. But he is shaken to his core when those in power, including his own brother, try not only to silence him, but to destroy him.
