The Doctor’s Dilemma

by Bernard Shaw, directed by Morris Panych
“Life does not cease to be funny when people die, any more
than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.”
Graeme Somerville, Richard Stewart,
Andrew Bunker, Mark Uhre and Peter Krantz
The Doctor’s Dilemma

A doctor who has discovered a lifesaving cure must make an impossible decision. Who should he treat: a kindly colleague who serves the poor, or an extremely talented but unscrupulous young artist, who also happens to have a beautiful young wife? When there’s only room for one more, who can he afford to save? The Doctor’s Dilemma is Bernard Shaw’s comic exploration of the medical establishment and the value of art.

“As is so often the case with Bernard Shaw, the ethical question he rolls out in this piece is alarmingly timeless.” JM
