I had DESIGN FINALS today for my devised production based on Enemy of the People. It’s about a doctor who discovers a contaminant in the local baths, the town’s main income source, and makes themself…. very unpopular by asking for it to be shut down.

Not topical at all.

Anyway, those of you familiar with Ibsen’s work may note that this has been cast gender-blind - one way of many we’re planning to engage with the already-rich text to find new ways to relate to it.
