"The Doctor" was a great show to see in London. Headout was a helpful and easy way of getting tickets. Obtaining the tickets at the box office at the Duke of York's Theatre worked out fine but was a bit confusing for us and for them as to what the process was after showing them the booking reference and bar code etc on my phone.

Storyline
Professor Bernhardi, a 1912 drama by Arthur Schnitzler, is the inspiration for the Doctor play. The original drama examines the care of a lady who develops sepsis following an abortion. The Doctor, released nearly a century later, tells a similar scenario. This time, instead of Vienna, the story is set in north London, and it follows Professor Ruth Woolf, a distinguished physician who is treating a young girl with dementia when the girl's parents send a priest to perform the final rites. This presents the doctor with a major moral issue, which quickly escalates into a national controversy. The Doctor, by Robert Icke, modernizes a classic story by putting it in a modern hospital, while simultaneously raising questions about people's basic ideas on self, perspective, and prejudice. To know more about this fascinating drama, buy The Doctor play London tickets at the earliest.
