Updating Henrik Ibsen's drama to the present day, An Enemy of the People retains the play's main motifs—a Norwegian coastal town, a tainted water supply, duplicitous officials, irrational townsfolk—but augments the action with contemporary concerns. "[Adjusting] the play works seamlessly, highlighting the timelessness of Ibsen's themes. Both Arthur Miller and Satyajit Ray made their own adaptations, but [this one] succeeds best…"—Jay Weissberg.
