Matt Smith is trading the dragons of Westeros for the West End as he returns to the stage in a highly-anticipated production. He will be starring in a brand-new, boldly reimagined production of Henrik Ibsen's 1883 classic play 'An Enemy of the People', directed by Thomas Ostermeier. The production is scheduled to open at the Duke of York's Theatre on February 6, 2024, and will run until April 6, 2024, tickets will be going onsale 21st September.
Dr. Thomas Stockmann is a doctor in a small town who stumbles upon some terrible news - the town's main source of income, the local spa, has toxic contaminated water. Seeking to reveal the truth and save lives in the process, Stockmann publishes his findings only to receive vilification from the town. The news could destroy the town's economy, and so Stockmann receives pressure to retract his statement. What follows is a moral dilemma, can he retain his integrity, or will Stockmann cover up his findings to save face?
Thomas Ostermeier pushes the form and boundaries of theatre... It is an honour to be able to work with him on this great play and become part of this unique project.
