When Dr. Stockmann discovers that the waters of a new public spa are toxic, he expects gratitude and glory. But his revelation makes him the most hated man in town. How far will a man go to stand up for the truth? Ibsen’s timeless story of corruption, pollution and courage is revived in David Harrower’s powerful new version.
Richard Jones directs this classic play following his smash hits at the Young Vic, Government Inspector and Annie Get Your Gun.
