"An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen is a play that tells the story of Dr. Thomas Stockmann, a town doctor who finds out the local Baths are polluted and could make people sick. The story looks at what happens when someone tries to tell the truth, standing up for what’s right even when it goes against what everyone else thinks. The play starts with the doctor at home with his family and friends, talking about how important the Baths are to the town. We learn that he’s waiting for test results on the water, which could cause big problems for the town if he's right; this sets the scene for a big fight over what’s more important: keeping people healthy or keeping the town's money flowing.
