Dr. Thomas Stockmann, civic-minded man of science with an independent
spirit, is the complex hero of Henrik Ibsen's controversial 1883 drama.
It is a story of environmental crisis, whistleblowing, competing
stakeholders, corruption, the press, pride, power, resistance, betrayal,
and the complex nature of democracy. Ibsen surgically exposes the heart
of capitalism, its moral contradictions and compromises with the truth.
Includes introduction and questions for discussion. A high quality
edited text for actors, teachers, students, and general readers.
