The Fjæreheia Quarry

An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen

This year’s major Ibsen production at Fjæreheia is *An Enemy of the People*! This sharp and intense social satire delightfully kicks us out of our comfort zone. Because when the truth becomes dangerous, who dares to speak it aloud?

We wish our colleagues at Fjæreheia the best of luck with this summer's performances!
