"Jeremy Strong Shines in 'An Enemy of the People' on Broadway"

Jeremy Strong, known for his role in Succession, stars in a new Broadway adaptation of Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People,” directed by Sam Gold and also featuring Michael Imperioli. The play, set in a small 19th century Norwegian town, addresses themes of authoritarianism and the struggle for truth and democracy. Strong's portrayal of the protagonist, Dr. Stockmann, is described as sympathetic and quietly insistent, while the adaptation is noted for its humor and pacing. The production, performed in the round at Circle in the Square, engages the audience as if they were townspeople witnessing the conflict. The play's ultimate message is one of standing up against oppression and maintaining a moral attachment to community, honesty, self-resolve, and self-respect.
