Theatre
Clurman, Harold | March 29, 1971 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on several plays. Ibsen's play "An Enemy of the People," is an indignant comedy. It centers on the discovery by a doctor, Thomas Stockmann, that the water in the medicinal baths of a small town is polluted a situation that parallels certain present day crises. The fortitude that seizes him comes from the kind of shock which sometimes integrates a man's spirit. Ronald Millar's Abélard and Héloïse, a successful English play and production, was shown at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. It is not a good play but it would be less than fair to leave the statement so bare.
