By Henrik Ibsen 

Translated by R. Farquharson Sharp

Directed by Dan Bacalzo 

A stubborn doctor wants to save lives by bringing attention to a public health crisis, but his efforts are stymied by politicians and citizens concerned with economic repercussions. Branded an “enemy of the people” by those seeking to silence him, he stands to lose everything dear to him – his job, his reputation, his family, and their future well-being – if he continues to speak out.

Tickets are $10 for the general public and $7 for students and can be purchased at fgcu.edu/theatrelab

*There will be a discussion with the cast and crew following the 2p performance on 10/29
