The Doctor
On an ordinary day, at a private hospital, a 14-year old fights for her life. A priest arrives to save her soul. Dr. Wolff refuses him entry. In a divisive time, in a divided nation, a society takes sides. Robert Icke’s production navigates the contemporary minefield of freedom of religion, identity politics, medical ethics, gender and class. As the debate charts its catastrophic course, The Doctor reveals itself as an urgent contemporary tragedy.
Very freely adapted from Arthur Schnitzler’s ‘Professor Bernhardi’.

Following this production’s 2020 revival in Adelaide, it was due to undergo a brief UK tour to the Theatre Royal Brighton (30th March to 4th April) and Richmond Theatre (6th April to 11th April) before playing in London’s West End at The Duke of York’s Theatre.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UK lockdown and closure of all UK theatres on 16th March, the production was unable to complete this schedule of performances. It’s currently unknown if this production will complete its West End engagement.
