Ethics of Environment vs. Economy Tackled at Oddfellows

Oddfellows Playhouse's Teen Repertory presents An Enemy of the People written by Henrik Ibsen and adapted by Arthur Miller.

Renowned for its medicinal waters, a small Norwegian coastal town is enjoying the fruit of its economic boom. When Dr. Thomas Stockman discovers the waters are in fact poisoned by waste products from industry, his attempts to alert the unknowing public are met with tremendous force and resistance from those in power. Written in 1882, the drama is as relevant today as it was when first performed to a shocked Victorian audience...as the continual struggles between the environment and economy play out in our own backyard.

The production opened Thursday night to a warm house of family and friends. Here are a couple of shots from photographer Ofer Levy.

    This was a great production by Oddfellows and the play is as timely as when it was first written.
