"As timely as ever" (Cleveland Scene): LAST Weekend of HENRIK IBSEN'S AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE: A RUST-BELT ADAPTATION
by Les Hunter 20 May '22

20 May '22

LAST WEEKEND! Rubber City Theatre Presents: HENRIK IBSEN'S AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE: A NEW RUST-BELT ADAPTATION by Les Hunter, directed by Lana Sugarman. Friday, May 6th - May 21 and runs Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 and Sunday matinees at 2:30 (with one Thursday show on the 19th). *Akron Beacon Journal, *Kelly Clawson:“Highly thought-provoking (and) … a chilling modern-day version.” *Cleveland Scene Magazine, *Christine Howie:“(Hunter’s) adaptation of 'An Enemy of the People' … feels as timely as ever.” *Theatre Reviews Kura Hashi*: “A powerful show that asks you a simple question–what you are: Peter or Tammie?” *Mister 215,* Mark Horning (formerly of *Talkin’ Broadway*): “Good theatre!” There's trouble in the water and only Dr. Tammie Stockman can sound the alarm. Set in a mid-sized Rust-Belt city during the Trump era, this adaptation of An Enemy of the People delves into questions that were as pertinent for Ibsen as they are today. What inspires people to action? Can scientific discovery mobilize outcomes when economic opportunities are at stake, and fear is pervasive? Will Tammie sacrifice everything, her job, her friends, her family--for the truth? Or is she just the enemy of the people? Rubber City Theatre is in Residence at The University of Akron Guzzetta Hall, 228 E Buchtel Ave, Akron, OH 44325 There is a free parking garage right next door to the theatre. https://www.rubbercitytheatre.com/venue.html *https://www.rubbercitytheatre.com/enemy.html <https://www.rubbercitytheatre.com/enemy.html>*
