If you like stories about whistle-blowers, Mere Players latest production is a period piece with very modern relevancy. Spielberg used the same story for his classic film Jaws, swapping the poison in the water for a shark and there are echoes of Erin Brockovich’s tale of one person’s stand against the might of an all powerful corporation.
Set in Norway in the 1880’s, An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Arthur Miller, tells the story of a small town prospering from newly built spa waters. When the local Doctor discovers that all may not be well with the waters he shares his findings with the relevant authorities expecting to be hailed a hero. Instead he finds himself isolated, vilified and standing alone against the town as an ‘enemy of the people’.
Tickets are available from the 1st April by contacting 07811140861 or www.mereplayers.com. Also on the door subject to availability on performance dates. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd.
