An Enemy of the People

Barnard Theatre Department

Oct 22 - 24, 2026

With An Enemy of the People, Ibsen draws an array of powerful, nuanced figures, and shows us that everyone--the politician, the working man, the liberal progressive--is capable of falling prey to the dangers of groupthink. When we silence, we turn away from debate and discussion, we lose the free press, we lose the public town hall, we lose conversations around the kitchen table. — Shannon Sindelar, director
