  This volume is part of a series of novels, plays and stories intended for use at GCSE level. The complete, original text is accompanied by an introduction, activities for before, during and after study, as well as notes. Arthur Miller's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play reminds us that telling the truth can be a dangerous act. When the idealistic Dr Stockmann discovers that the waters of his native spa town are polluted, he knows that he must warn the population. But as the town's reputation with tourists is threatened, strong pressures are exerted to keep the doctor silent.

  The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone. Dr Stockmann attempts to expose a water pollution scandal in his home town which is about to establish itself as a spa. When his brother conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story, Stockmann appeals to a public meeting - only to be shouted down and reviled as 'an enemy of the people'. Ibsen's explosive play reveals his distrust of politicians and the blindly held beliefs of the masses. Christopher Hampton's version of Ibsen's classic was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 1997.
