The Goodman Theatre is currently showing Robert Falls’ new production of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play “An Enemy of the People.” The play was originally written in 1882 by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. The New York Times wrote of Falls’ production of the 136-year-old play, it’s “startling how current the play’s ideas feel.” We will be joined by actor Philip Earl Johnson who plays Thomas Stockmann in the new production of “An Enemy of the People” at the Goodman Theatre. Global citizen Nari Safavi also joins us for suggestions on how to have an international good time this weekend in Chicago.
