Matt Smith’s An Enemy of the People is officially extending its West End run, so if you missed out on tickets the first time, now’s your chance.

The hit play, starring the beloved Doctor Who and House of the Dragon actor, is adding an extra week at the Duke of York’s Theatre due to “phenomenal demand”.

After opening earlier this month, the show has already had dozens of rave reviews – including a five-star write up from our very own sci-fi editor.

Based on an 1882 Norwegian play written by Henrik Ibsen and more recently reimagined by German director Thomas Ostermeier, the story follows a medical officer charged with inspecting the public baths of his local town, but when he finds the water to be contaminated, he learns just how dangerous the truth can be.

Throughout the show, Smith is joined by a small cast of just seven, including Jessica Brown Findlay, Paul Hilton and *spoiler alert* an actual German Shepherd. Plus, its staging and set-up are truly a wonder to behold.

Here’s how you can grab tickets to see the show live.
