Excited to be returning for my 4th production at A Noise Within. This more 'unknown' Shaw work ought to be well-known. It was hugely popular in the first half of the 20th century. Its core premise is genius, and the play is very funny while creating a platform for discussion about the "doctor's" power to play God, the "artist's" quest for immortality and the consequences of living without regard others.
The Doctor's Dilemma
By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Damaso Rodriguez
Oct 13 - Nov 25, 2012
Who to save: a kindly colleague who serves the
poor, or an extremely talented but unscrupulous young artist? Shaw's incisive comedy is an indictment of
both the medical profession and the artistic sensibility.
"I've had to consider not only whether a man could
be saved, but whether he was worth saving." - Dr. Ridgeon
