Henrik Ibsen
Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright who thrived during the late nineteenth century. He began his professional career at age 15 as a pharmacist’s apprentice. He would spend his free time writing plays, publishing his first work Catilina in 1850, followed by The Burial Mound that same year. He eventually earned a position as a theatre director and began producing his own material. Ibsen’s prolific catalogue is noted for depicting modern and real topics. His major titles include Brand, Peer Gynt and Hedda Gabler.

Reviews for An Enemy of the People

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great cast! This is a difficult read in the wake of COVID, and it's hard not to think about it. It's fascinating how differently the term "liberal" is used here than today, especially regarding science and environmentalism. I was bothered that the whistleblower character is so insufferable and has a troubling Eugenics-themed speech in the fourth act, but Ibsen definitely keeps it spicy. A 100+ year old play that's still relevant.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This play is a perfect parable for our current corruption in the medical industry and the cowardice of the media, the businesses, the hoi polloi, etc. One lone doctor speaks out, but nobody else will speak of the tannery poison that will kill them all with early, horrible deaths. As a result they take away his practice like they recently took that of a few brave doctors and Giuliani’s law license. The lone doctor argues, “The liberals are the most insidious enemies of freedom,” and “the whole of our life derives its substance from a lie.” He concluded that “the majority are always stupid” and only a few, rare, brilliant individuals ever speak out: Dr. Peter McCullogh, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Luc Montagnier, et al., as recent stellar examples.
