Review Excerpts
“‘APT’S KIM IN POWERFUL SWAN SONG’….’An Enemy of the People,’ which joined the APT’s repertory Saturday, certainly is a powerful swan song. Kim’s role dominates Ibsen’s polemic against the tyranny of the majority. The most effective scene finds Stockmann confronted by an angry crowd of residents of his hometown.
