AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE Tonight at the Grand Opera House at 7.30pm and running until Saturday. Tickets £15 to £31.50.

SCHAUBUHNE Berlin's contemporary take on Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy Of The People gets its Irish premiere tonight.

Directed by Thomas Ostermeier, the play centres around Dr Stockmann, who discovers that the source of drinking and spa water in his town is contaminated. He wants to publish the findings and demands that the council reroutes the water pipes. However, his brother Peter - the mayor - is worried that the economic prosperity of the spa town will be threatened. Suddenly the support for Stockmann's concerns begins to wane. This satire of greed and corruption with a modern twist includes live music and songs including Changes by David Bowie. It brings Ibsen's parable to a boil and a solitary whistleblower to his knees. (Performed in German with English subtitles)

BOB HARRIS Tonight at 8.30pm. Elmwood Hall. Tickets £8/£10
