Henrik Ibsen
Born in 1828, Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often associated with the early Modernist movement in theatre. Determined to become a playwright from a young age, Ibsen began writing while working as an apprentice pharmacist to help support his family. Though his early plays were largely unsuccessful, Ibsen was able to take employment at a theatre where he worked as a writer, director, and producer. Ibsen’s first success came with Brand and Peter Gynt, and with later plays like A Doll’s House, Ghosts, and The Master Builder he became one of the most performed playwrights in the world, second only to William Shakespeare. Ibsen died in his home in Norway in 1906 at the age of 78.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amazingly relevant to 2020 America!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A truly magnificent play. The speeches by Dr. Stockmann in Act 4 were simply brilliant. I was worried in Act 5 that the play would turn into tragedy and Dr. Stockmann would sell his soul to the devil. Instead, his heroism increased tenfold. A beautifully written -- not predictable, unexpected and truly the stuff that plays should be made of.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Having once seen a snippet of Steve McQueen play the main role in a movie adaptation An Enemy of the People, for a long time I wanted to read this.Boy was I disappointed when I did! The bit I recall McQueen speaking wasn't even in this, the original.Yuck!
