    The Doctor

    With The Doctor, Robert Icke brought one of the most talked-about and internationally influential plays of recent years to the Dutch stage. The production is a contemporary adaptation of Professor Bernhardi (1912) by Arthur Schnitzler and explores how identity, power, faith and public perception influence one another in an increasingly polarised society.

    Selected for the Dutch Theatre Festival

    Date
    September 12, 2021

    For ITA, Icke made a Dutch-language remake of his highly praised production The Doctor, which he created in 2019 for the Almeida Theatre in London. The production marked another successful collaboration between the British director and ITA, following earlier productions such as Oedipus and Kinderen van Nora.
     
    The production was selected for the Nederlands Theater Festival 2022 as one of the twelve most impressive productions of the season. The jury praised the way Icke connects philosophical, social and ethical dilemmas to a compelling personal drama. Actors Janni Goslinga and Ilke Paddenburg were nominated for the Theo d’Or and the Colombina respectively. For her portrayal of Ruth Wolff, Janni Goslinga also received the Mary Dresselhuys Prize.

    "A play of ideas that nonetheless sparkles and fizzes, and moves you deeply on a human level too." – de Volkskrant ★★★★★
