Due to Covid-19 related theatre closures, Robert Icke’s (The Wild Duck, Hamlet, Mary Stuart, Oresteia, 1984) Almeida Theatre production, The Doctor, will now be postponed until 2021. Juliet Stevenson, ‘delivering one of the peak performances of the theatrical year’ (The Guardian), will reprise her role as Professor Ruth Wolff as previously announced, with further casting to be confirmed in due course.

The Doctor, by Robert Icke, very freely adapted from Professor Bernhardi by Arthur Schnitzler, has been critically lauded since its opening at the Almeida in August 2019. The production has designs by Hildegard Bechtler, lighting by Natasha Chivers, sound and composition by Tom Gibbons and casting by Julia Horan.
