"Reviving 'An Enemy of the People' for Broadway: Adapting the Century-Old Play"

Playwright Amy Herzog and theater director Sam Gold, a married couple, are collaborating on an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People" for Broadway. Their approach involves reworking the play to reflect contemporary themes and reframing the character dynamics. The couple's personal experiences, including the loss of their daughter, have influenced their creative work, with Herzog also preparing for the Broadway premiere of her original work "Mary Jane." Their adaptation of "An Enemy of the People" explores the complexities of political radicalism, community, and healthcare, while also incorporating elements of domestic warmth and care.
