This is the first Broadway venture for Plan B, which is also led by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner and has been a producer on films such as Moonlight and 12 Years A Slave, and recently struck a deal with Audible on audio projects.
In addition to his role as Dominic Di Grasso in the most recent season of White Lotus, Imperioli is well-known for his role as Christopher in six seasons of The Sopranos, which earned him an Emmy Award for outstanding supporting actor. Recently, Imperioli has appeared in season two of Hulu’s The Fool and completed work on Paul Schrader’s film Oh Canada, with Richard Gere and Uma Thurman.
Imperioli will play Peter Stockmann, brother to Strong’s Dr. Thomas Stockmann, a local doctor who tries to raise the alarm about the town’s unsafe spa water, but is met with pushback from the community and his own family. Complete casting for An Enemy of the People will be announced at a later date.
Sam Gold will direct the show. The creative team includes scenic design by dots, costume design by David Zinn, lighting design by Isabella Byrd and sound design by Mikaal Sulaiman.
