PARAGON SPRINGS

WRITTEN BY STEVEN DIETZ
BASED ON AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE BY HENRIK IBSEN

It is 1926 in the American heartland, and the famed “healing waters” of Paragon Springs have been mysteriously poisoned. Now, the town’s foremost citizen-crusader, Dr. Thomas Stockman, is determined to know the truth behind this tragedy, no matter the cost. In this vibrant, often funny, and highly theatrical re-imagining of Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People, Steven Dietz puts the lure of capitalism and the greed of small-town self-interest squarely on trial- laced with Dr. Stockman’s lasting cry that “the majority is always wrong!” This is an entertaining and illuminating drama—set amid the birth of radio and the final roar of the 1920s—about the human cost of our political gamesmanship.
