Jeremy Strong & Alan Trong at the Circle In The Square Theatre in NYC in 2024

Actors Jeremy Strong and Vietnamese-American, Alan Trong sign autographs following their matinee performance in Amy Herzog's adaptation of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People which was first staged in 1882. Despite it's latter 19th century origins, the work has great relevance for the present day. The water in the image refers to research conducted by medical doctor Thomas Stockman which shows that a local spa is making people gravely ill because its polluted waters carry deadly bacteria. But the town rejects him and claims his research will damage severely its economy if their spa is closed. Strong was previously best known for playing the role of Kendall Roy in the hit HBO dramatic series Succession. Trong had a significant role, playing Sonny, in HBOs 2024 series The Sympathizer. In real life he was a refugee. The play closed on June 23, 2024, but not before Strong garnered a Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play.
