See a riveting, complex character study with surgical precision at The Doctor starring Juliet Stevenson.
Fans of Grey’s Anatomy and Scrubs can now see a medical drama unfold on stage — but unlike those shows, The Doctor is no melodrama. The show follows Professor Ruth Wolff, a doctor who makes a controversial medical decision that puts her at the center of a fiery public debate. Don’t miss this “masterful” performance as Ruth transforms from “a callous doctor with [ ] a booming voice to a fragile, vulnerable woman who loses everything that forms her identity," London Theatre raves.
Take a prime seat in the court of public opinion and watch the doctor’s case unfold, with her career and reputation on the line. What will your verdict be? The Doctor isn’t an interactive show, but you’ll inevitably prescribe your own judgment — or maybe wrestle with the play’s questions long after you leave.
Make your appointment with The Doctor this summer.
The Doctor is written and directed by Robert Icke, who premiered the show at London’s Almeida Theatre in 2019. Critical acclaim earned it a West End transfer, and The Doctor now makes its New York debut.
Lead actress Juliet Stevenson has been with the show at every stage. She’s a veteran of the London stage and screen, winning an Olivier Award for starring in Death and the Maiden in London’s West End. She’s also a three-time BAFTA Award nominee for A Doll's House, Accused, and The Politician's Wife. Her other most famous credits include Bend It Like Beckham and Emma, starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
2 hrs 45 mins (incl. one intermission).
