An Enemy of the People - Taylors Falls

Sod House Theater is excited to present the second summer of a new, bluegrass infused adaptation, of “An Enemy of the People,” written by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Darcey Engen, Luverne Seifert, Brian Laidlaw, and Ashley Hanson that will tour ten cities of greater Minnesota. Known for their fantastically fun productions, Sod House will join forces with local talent and audiences to celebrate summer and community through the experience of live, site-specific theater.

This classic play, “An Enemy of the People” examines how a community responds when a local doctor threatens to expose that the water it relies upon for tourism is being poisoned. The play questions how far a community will go to protect their town’s secret in order to avoid financial ruin. Although the play deals with a serious subject matter, we've created the show to also celebrate the community spirit including a water days festival that begins the show with a raffle for great prizes.
