Schaubühne, An Enemy of the People

by Henrik Ibsen
In a version by Florian Borchmeyer
Directed by Thomas Ostermeier

Friday, October 12, and Saturday, October 13, 8 pm
Zellerbach Hall

Berlin’s Schaubühne theater presents a radically revised adaptation of An Enemy of the People, Ibsen’s potent 1882 drama about individual and social responsibility. The story of a whistleblower in a small town whose efforts to speak truth to power are shut down by his self-interested neighbors, the play both implicates and exhilarates its audience in a conversation about the perils of democratic capitalism. Directed by Thomas Ostermeier, for decades a leading creative voice and provocateur in European theater, the production has received strong reactions from audiences and critics alike, largely because of its controversial handling of the play’s climactic scene.
