An Enemy of the People A New Version by Christopher Hampton

"An unequivocal triumph." --"Times Literary Supplement "(London)"Christopher Hampton's new version of the text is also a revelation . . . "An Enemy of the People" has been reborn as a passionate current debate about the value of the individual . . . The dust has been blown off the original text, and it will not settle for a long time . . . There is a vitality, vehemence and victory here against the odds." --"Spectator" (London)"More than any revival of Ibsen's plays I've seen, it creates a sense of place vital to the theme . . . "An Enemy of the People" is little short of superb, for it gives us both a big, rich, public play and the private drama of two men locked in rivalry that probably goes back to the playpen . . . You want an unforgettable picture of the idealist at his most necessary yet impossible? Here it is." --"The Times" (London)
