NEW YORK—The importance of truth is at the heart of Henrik Ibsen’s powerful 1882 drama, “An Enemy of the People.” Topical since first published, it has been staged numerous times on Broadway, the latest of which is a thoroughly engaging production at Circle in the Square Theatre.
After years of struggle and a personal tragedy, Dr. Thomas Stockmann (Jeremy Strong) enjoys a contented life. He has a lovely home in a small town in Norway, a thriving medical practice, and is a respected member of the community. One of his favorite enjoyments is the intellectual conversations he has with friends who regularly stop by to share his evening meal.
