Full cast announced for Thomas Ostermeier’s production of Ibsen’s AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

Full casting has been announced for the West End production of Thomas Ostermeier’s bold reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People, which begins performances at the Duke of York’s Theatre on 6 February 2024.

Joining the previously announced Matt Smith as Dr Stockmann are Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey, ITV) as Katharina Stockmann, Priyanga Burford (Rapture, Royal Court) as Aslaksen, Zachary Hart (Julius Caesar, Bridge Theatre) as Billing, Paul Hilton (Mourning Becomes Electra, National Theatre) as Peter Stockmann, Nigel Lindsay (Farewell Mister Haffman, Theatre Royal Bath) as Morten Kiil, and Shubham Saraf (The Father and the Assassin, National Theatre) as Hovstad.

Doubt spreads faster than disease in Ibsen’s thought-provoking play about truth in a society driven by power and money.

When Dr Stockmann makes an unbelievable discovery about the healing waters in his local baths, he holds the future of the town in his hands, but those with everything to lose refuse to accept his word. As the battle goes beyond contaminated water, barriers are broken in this contemporary production as Ostermeier shows us why this perennial classic will be relevant forever.

Thomas Ostermeier said: “It’s a privilege to be starting rehearsals in the West End for the first time with a cast of this calibre, joining Matt Smith as Thomas Stockmann. I look forward to rediscovering the brilliance of Ibsen’s prescient masterpiece with this incredible group of actors as we build an English language production for London.”
