A synopsis of the show reads: ‘Doubt spreads faster than disease in Ibsen’s thought-provoking play about truth in a society driven by power and money.
‘When Dr. Stockmann makes an unbelievable discovery about the healing waters in his local baths, he holds the future of the town in his hands, but those with everything to lose refuse to accept his word.
‘As the battle goes beyond contaminated water, barriers are broken in this contemporary production as Ostermeier shows us why this perennial class will be relevant forever.
Making his West End debut, celebrated director Thomas Ostermeier’s production of An Enemy of the People plays at the Duke of York’s Theatre for a strictly limited run from February 6 2024.
In a recent interview Matt revealed how his role as Prince Philip in The Crown, helped secure him the position.
He told The Telegraph: ‘I was in luck. I’m not sure that Thomas had a great knowledge of English actors or their work.’
Matt added: ‘But he had watched The Crown and he’d enjoyed it.’
Admitting he’s a big fan of the German director, he continued: ‘He’s sort of impressive. I’d always thought that if he ever did work in London, I’d check in and go and see it, because that’s the kind of theatre I want to be engaged with: the stuff that tries to push things to the edge of… everywhere.’
