Did Ibsen once live in and base the town in 'Enemy of the People' on Billingham?

Other than that I haven't got a clue!

ps - It is McGoohan in the 1950s BBC production of Ibsen's Brand. My mother-in-law saw him in the stage production.

She was a lucky woman judging by the kudos/critical acclaim surrounding that particular production

She raves about it and claims it was far superior to the TV version.

Only a guess.

Something to do with one of Ibsen's plays appearing at the Billingham Theatre?

I saw that but thought it a bit too easy for a Windy conundrum. There was an adaptation of 'Hedda Gabler', which was adapted by a chap named Billingham and starred an actress called Kylie Billingham staged there, also a play called 'Young Ibsen'.

Giving this one away cos its a bit obscure - Hedda Gabler is the connection - the character of Dr Brack was named after a real person Martin Brack who was for many years the Rector of Wolviston in Billingham, Cleveland.
