An Enemy of the People

by Henrik Ibsen Narrated by Richard Kind, Rosalind Ayres, Multiple Narrators

Overview

When a small town relies on tourists flocking to its baths, will a report of dangerously polluted waters be enough to shut them down? Henrik Ibsen weighs the cost of public health versus a town's livelihood in An Enemy of the People.

Also includes an interview with Joel K. Bourne, Jr., former senior environment editor for National Geographic, on man-made environmental disasters, climate change, and the state of the world's water supply.

Editorial Reviews

AUGUST 2014 - AudioFile

L.A. Theatre Works’ “radio theater” production of Ibsen’s classic play about environmental contamination, science, dissent, and hypocrisy offers a well-rounded audio theater experience. Very little in Ibsen’s original work requires theatrical action, and, when it does, the LATW cast—including Richard Kind, Rosalind Ayres, Gregory Harrison, and Josh Stamberg—and the production team do an excellent job of conveying it through sound. Like most dramatic works, the two-hour play is best enjoyed in one or two sittings. Ibsen’s themes remain relevant, almost prescient, nearly a century and a half after he wrote this play.
