Flyleaf Theatre Company presents ‘An Enemy of the People’ by Henrik Ibsen

Flyleaf Theatre Company presents ‘An Enemy of the People’; Henrik Ibsen’s electric masterwork about truth and self-interest. The action is transported to contemporary New Zealand in this urgent new adaptation.
Dr. Thomas Stockmann is the medical officer of his small-town’s new eco-spa. An upstanding member of their close-knit community, when Thomas discovers the town’s water has been contaminated, he raises the alarm. But his truth comes at a price, when those in power, including his brother,  try not only to discredit him - but to crush him.  

Flyleaf Theatre Company presents An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen, newly adapted by Aaron Richardson. This modern reimagining relocates the story from nineteenth-century Norway to present-day Aotearoa, placing Ibsen’s drama inside our country’s burgeoning water crisis.

 Featuring an incredible cast, this new production of Ibsen’s masterwork will have you riveted until its final devastating conclusion.
