Productions

Dr. Ruth Wolff is a celebrated doctor and agnostic Jew. When she refuses a Catholic priest access to a young patient in a terminal condition, the incident soon has major repercussions and Ruth finds herself at the centre of a media shitstorm that threatens her entire way of life.

The writer and director Robert Icke has transposed Arthur Schnitzler’s play «Professor Bernhardi» (1912) vividly into the present. The «Times» of London described «The Doctor» as being «as slippery, muscular and complex as a human heart, more intricate the deeper his dissection goes.»
