Question

A 2018 Beijing production of this play included moments of pointed silence after a scene that asked the audience to voice grievances was censored. A character in this play compares a community to a ship, since “everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm,” while discussing an election. Arthur Miller’s version of this play removed pro-eugenics overtones in a central speech, such as an analogy that uses “poodle-men” and “cur-men” to disparage the “common folk.” (10[1])That speech in this play denounces the “compact majority” and is given in Captain Horster’s home. In this play, Hovstad is pressured not to publish a report (10[1])in the People’s Messenger by the protagonist’s brother, the mayor. For 10 points, name this play by Henrik Ibsen in which Dr. Stockmann is shunned for revealing that the town’s baths (10[1])are contaminated. ■END■ (0[2])
