An enemy of the people ; The wild duck ; Rosmersholm / Henrik Ibsen ; with an introduction by William Archer.

Presents three plays by the master playwright featuring complex characters coping with society's challenges.

An enemy of the people: Dr. Stockmann, whose single voice of reason is drowned out by those with paranoid and ulterior interests.

The wild duck: Should the truth be pursued whatever the cost? The idealistic son of a wealthy businessman seeks to expose his father's duplicity and to free his childhood friend from the lies on which his happy home life is based.

Rosmersholm: Johannes Rosmer has resigned as parish priest following the suicide of his wife. But his increasingly liberal ideas make him an object of suspicion to the local worthies, who also disapprove of the presence in his house of a much younger woman, Rebecca West, formerly his wife’s companion. As their relationship deepens and their isolation builds, the increasing moral pressures they face force them inexorably towards their fate.
