Enjoy Discount Tickets for "An Enemy of the People"


  • TimeLine Theatre 5035 N Broadway Chicago, IL 60660 (map)

A fresh, award-winning new take on the historic masterwork about citizens standing up to power. 

When a respected doctor in small-town Norway makes a deadly discovery that threatens the health of the entire village, he raises the alarm. But as local leaders—including his own brother, the mayor—scramble to protect their own interests, the truth becomes inconvenient, and the doctor finds himself the target of the very community he’s trying to protect.

Hailed by the New York Times as ”crackling and persuasive … a bitter satire of local politics that soon reveals itself as a slow-boil tragedy of human complacency,” and the winner of the 2024 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Adaptation, this vibrant new version of Ibsen’s thunderous masterwork asks: what happens when doing the right thing means losing everything? 

“An Enemy of the People” runs from May 6th to June 7th. Discount tickets are available for $10 off with the code EVCHI and are good for all performances except:
