Intrepid Shakespeare Company presents Arthur Miller's adaptation of Henrick Ibsen's 1882 political thriller An Enemy of the People. Prosperity seems to be just over the horizon for a seacoast town in Maine as a health spa created from the local springs prompts hopes of major economic growth. But when visitors to the community start getting sick, Dr. Stockmann discovers that the town's water is poisoned and reports it to the authorities. Instead of being hailed as the hero he is, Stockmann's good deed is seen as having the potential to ruin the town's newfound financial security, and he is labeled an enemy of the people. This adaptation by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller presents the powerful study of an honest man being persecuted for telling the truth. The inspiration for the film Jaws, Ibsen's play is a penetrating exploration of what happens when the truth comes up against the will of the majority.

I am not familiar with the area and there are no signs to mark this new building so I had a little trouble finding the place. Should have listened to my GPS, but it didn’t look like a theatre.Written on Feb 06 2012
The acting was excellent there were a couple of actors that were outstanding. The play itself is nothing new of course but it does have the Ibsen flair and I happen to like Ibsen. I would recommend it it’s a very good performance.
