"Relevant… Herzog’s clean but not noticeably modern phrasings hit just the right note."

 The New York Times

"Crackling and persuasive… a bitter satire of local politics that soon reveals itself as a slow-boil tragedy of human complacency."

 The New York Times

"Amy Herzog’s adaptation… is smart, sharp and relevant."

 Deadline

"Crunchily position[s] drama and wit, profundity and comedy, alongside one another. This brilliant Enemy of the People is notably funny in both its smarts and pacing."

 The Daily Beast

"Lively… a prescient play about the dangers of populist manipulation by those invested in the status quo."

 New York Daily News

"First staged over 140 years ago, Ibsen’s play feels eerily prescient… it also is a striking portrait of oppositional forces both strategically manipulative and stunningly violent."

 Entertainment Weekly

"A rousing adaptation of a story that carries a discomforting contemporary relevance… at times jarring, at times moving… the play is funnier than you’d expect for such gloomy matters."

 The Guardian

"Urgent and effective… [a] visceral distillation of the 1882 Ibsen drama… Herzog’s sharp dialogue is fluid and identifiably American in vernacular but not littered with anachronisms… Without ever hammering this play’s uncanny modern-day relevance, the new production deftly underscores the parallels of our current ugly political divide; the risks of being a whistleblower; distrust in science by people whose ignorance is manipulated by those in power; trial by public opinion; and a conflict between environmental and economic concerns, all of which will be familiar to 21st-century American audiences."
