Brad Birch (Printer Commission winner, 2016) takes Ibsen's An Enemy of the People into the center of a very modern scandal. How does Tom Stockmann keep people and press on his side when he makes a discovery about the town's prestigious new spa? This taut and rigorous adaptation examines the fault lines of municipal power as media, politics, and the public good come head-to-head in a thrilling drama of the conflict between the personal and the public. An Enemy of the People premiered at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in May2026 ahead of a production at the Pleasance, Edinburgh, in August 2016.
January 30- February 1 & February 6-8
In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap… until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess,” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune, and acquittal.
