<i>Do you know what I believe in? I believe in us. Me and you, right here. This town was once an incredible place. We have to have courage to fight for it again.</i> Hero or enemy? Who can actually tell the difference? Everything is going to be fine, better than fine, in fact there’s nothing that can’t be achieved if everyone just believes a little. That’s what the town’s MP, Mick, thinks. He’s optimistic, positively boosterish about his plan for the town. He just wants the naysayers to pipe down. But there’s a problem. His sister, Dr Rhiannon Powell, has discovered that the project appears to be polluting the town’s water supply. Mick sold the town a story about the future, but what will happen when reality looks to tear that story apart? Is Mick a hero of the people, or is he in fact their enemy? Brad Birch’s bold new reimagining of Ibsen’s <i>An Enemy of the People</i> pits the personal against the political and facts against emotion. <i>A Hero of the People</i> is a gripping contemporary drama for our times.
