How to get An Enemy of the People tickets as Matt Smith stars in West End show
Calling all fans of Doctor Who, House of the Dragon and The Crown! Matt Smith is returning to the West End in 2024 to star in Thomas Ostermeier's take on An Enemy of the People. Here's everything you need to know.
Matt Smith, of Doctor Who, The Crown, and House of the Dragon fame, is returning to the West End stage next winter.
The 40-year-old actor is set to star in a limited-time run of An Enemy of the People; an 1882 Norwegian play written by Henrik Ibsen and more recently reimagined by German director Thomas Ostermeier.
Ostermeier’s interactive version of the play is transferring to London’s Duke of York’s Theatre next February, for a new English production. The show was first staged in 2012 at the Schaubühne in Berlin, before transferring to the Barbican for a German-language run in 2014.
Smith will be taking on the role of Dr Stockmann, a medical officer charged with inspecting the public baths of his local town, but when he finds the water to be contaminated, he is declared an enemy of the people.
On the subject of the upcoming performance the actor said: “Thomas Ostermeier pushes the form and boundaries of theatre; I have been a fan for quite some time. Seeing his Richard III with Lars Erdinger was electric. When I heard he was interested in coming to the British stage for the first time, with Ibsen’s classic An Enemy of the People I was delighted to say the least.”
He added: “It is an honour to be able to work with him on this great play and become part of this unique project. We’re beginning an exciting casting process, and I very much look forward to returning to the Duke of York’s Theatre early next year.”
