An Enemy of the People Summary 1/3
Okay, so there are way too many pictures to share in 1 post, so I decided to separate them.
These are all the pictures released prior to the play. Below I linked the sources for each of them (hopefully).
Second post will be the ones from the actual production and third is all the great videos/trailers!
Bonus:
Nottingham Playhouse has unveiled its 2019 autumn season, including a specially-adapted, gender-swapped production of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People,” starring Alex Kingston. Celebrated for 12 years in renowned US drama series ER, award-winning actress, TV, and film star Alex Kingston will take on the lead of Dr. Stockmann in “An Enemy of the People” in September 2019. The timely and gripping play about fake news, whistle-blowers, and the corruption of power is set in contemporary Norway where Dr. Stockmann discovers the town's famous spa waters are poisoned. British playwright Rebecca Lenkiewicz has specially adapted An Enemy of the People for Nottingham Playhouse. Lenkiewicz is also an esteemed screenwriter whose credits include co-writing the Oscar winning “Ida” and “Colette,” which starred Keira Knightley. Adam Penford, artistic director at Nottingham Playhouse, said, "I am thrilled that An Enemy of the People is our headline drama this autumn, following on from the major success of The Madness of George III in November. It's a play I've had my eye on for a few years as the themes it explores feel so current; it's hard to believe Ibsen wrote it 130 years ago. Alex Kingston is a tremendous actor with a powerful stage presence and global profile. I was delighted by how passionately she felt about both the play and the character and was excited about coming to Nottingham. Likewise, Rebecca Lenkiewicz is one of the most renowned British playwrights and her new incisive adaptation brings the play bang up-to-date so it has the freshness and mass appeal of a contemporary thriller. An Enemy of the People is one of the greatest dramas ever written and audiences will be gripped by its dramatic narrative and the mirror it holds up to our society." Speaking about her role in “An Enemy of the People,” Alex Kingston said, "I am really excited about participating in the 2019 season at Nottingham Playhouse. The lead main character was written for a man and has always been played by a man; in this version it is being adapted to allow me to play this role. The piece is really timely - there are a lot of shadows within the play that echo what we are going through right now - the Flint water scandal in Michigan, the vilification of Hillary Clinton, the general state of democracy and post Brexit Britain - there are a lot of themes that will resonate for the audience in this play."
An “Enemy of the People,” directed by Adam Penford, runs from September 13-28, 2019.

“I was twiddling my thumbs in LA,” says Alex Kingston
The actress says she has not stopped working since returning to the UK two years ago.
Alex Kingston has said she was “twiddling my thumbs a bit” in LA but has not stopped working since returning to the UK.
The former ER and Doctor Who actress moved to London for family reasons two years ago.
“In America, you get to a place where you are of an age and are just not cast any more,” the 55-year-old told The Sunday Times Culture magazine, but added that things have improved.
“Netflix and Amazon have actually done a lot to change the playing field, in terms of casting ethnicity, age, size – so it isn’t just ageism,” she said.
“It is that America is a much bigger pond, and you are a much smaller fish in that big pond.
“There are fewer roles for women past 50 so it is much more competitive — and the bigger fish tend to be the movie stars who aren’t getting their movie-star roles any more so they move to TV.”
Kingston is returning to the stage in the play Admissions. [x]
