“PURE Theatre owns Ibsen. . . a taut, well-acted drama as compelling to watch as an executioner's pendulum-like ax-swing between victims.” —Charleston City Paper
“PURE Theatre productions are universally excellent, and this performance was no exception.” —Post & Courier
Based on Henrik Ibsen’s classic AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, Rogers’ adaptation updates the action to a small, Southern, coastal town. Dr. Stockmann discovers that an outbreak of Fishteria, a strange disease that causes bloody sores to appear on fish, is directly related to local hog production. The ecological breakthrough puts the doctor at odds with the long suffering town’s surging economic growth, the Lowcountry Resort and Spa, and a little detail called the Hippocratic Oath. Get ready; tourist season is on the way.
