Connecticut Repertory Theatre continues its 2023 – 2024 season with Tlaloc Rivas’ world premiere adaptation, A DOCTOR’S DILEMMA, based on A DOCTOR’S DILEMMA by George Bernard Shaw. The play previews March 21 and runs March 22 – 30, 2023 in the Nafe Katter Theatre.

A doctor who has discovered a lifesaving cure must make an impossible decision: with only one precious dose remaining and two people in need, who should he save? Rivas’ adaption distills Shaw’s five-act original into a fleet, witty tale, emphasizing the playwright’s rich humor while engaging in an honest exploration of Shaw’s critical themes. The result is a scalpel-sharp satirical examination of the medical establishment, love and the value of art.

“A Doctor's Dilemma doesn’t merely serve as a platform for critical reflection, but also as a celebration of the healing power of laughter and communal joy. In times of strife and uncertainty, Shaw’s incisive wit and the ensuing laughter it provokes are not just an escape but a potent therapeutic force,” says Rivas.
