2009 and a spa-tourism town struggles to keep afloat in the wake of the financial crash. The medical officer at the baths thinks the waters might be toxic – should they go public? How would their family, friends and the town react? Personal relations are tested to breaking point as idealism, pragmatism and ambition clash.
Ibsen’s timeless play resonates loudly with issues today: toxic water, toxic culture and cancellation.
