Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which represent a call to action blueprints set to achieve a prosperous, better and more sustainable future, all in a bid to either reduce to the barest minimum or end poverty, duly recognizes the health and livelihood implications of inadequate water accessibility and poor sanitation included water and sanitation in the SDGs. Clean water and sanitation appear as number six of the seventeen SDGs. This goal has a direct impact on Life below water and Life on Land which are numbered fourteen and fifteen on the Sustainable Development Goals respectively and therefore needs a critical attention. For some years now, Ghana has been pinned down with serious poor sanitation issues. The effects of these poor sanitation issues have been seriously felt in diverse facets of the development of the country. Although, various attempts have been made to arrest this situation, it appears it is getting no better. Drama has been considered as a mirror that reflects the reality in societies. It has often been used to educate, inform, and entertain. An Enemy of the People; a play by Henrik Ibsen deals with a serious environmental problem versus the general attitude and mindset of the people; media, citizens and corrupt government officials to find solutions to nip it in the bud. This literary research exposes some themes in this serious drama with considerable modern relevance for modern readers. This is done through thematic, textual and contextual analysis.
