This volume is part of a series of novels, plays and stories intended for use at GCSE level. The complete, original text is accompanied by an introduction, activities for before, during and after study, as well as notes. Arthur Miller's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play reminds us that telling the truth can be a dangerous act. When the idealistic Dr Stockmann discovers that the waters of his native spa town are polluted, he knows that he must warn the population. But as the town's reputation with tourists is threatened, strong pressures are exerted to keep the doctor silent.
