I know you all live in the greater New England area, so come on! See my play!
No time for chit-chat, kids. I’m finishing up a first draft of my Plato play and doing a lot of research on Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People. Part of my reading led me to Ibsen.net, which I must admit, compared to your current surroundings, is a better site about a better playwright.
One of the current front page articles is about a recent Norwegian film adaptation of Enemy, set in the present. The end of the article contains this quote:
On a worldwide basis An Enemy of the People has been filmed three times before. The first occasion was a German production from 1937. Then came an American production from 1977 with Steve McQueen….
Dude, Steve McQueen! More Ibsen plays should have Steve McQueen! Check it out:
Just as Ibsen originally intended!
PS: Did anyone else notice that Enemy was first filmed in Nazi Germany? Because there was nothing more important in 1937 than allowing Germans to speak the truth….
PPS: Check out Dr. Stockmann on the poster for the current Norwegian version of Enemy. He looks like Jason Statham! I suppose if the deceased McQueen isn’t available for more Ibsen, we’ll have to make do with everyone’s favorite Eurotrash action hero in the part of John Rosmer. Diminishing returns….
