Shawchicago: the Doctor's Dilemma May 2, 2010

ShawChicago returns to the Studio Theater with a staged reading of Bernard Shaw's tale of Doctor Colenso Ridgeon. The newly knighted doctor has discovered a cure for tuberculosis but has only one slot left for the clinical trial. Should he choose a kindly medical colleague who ministers to the poor or a callous, amoral, but potentially great artist? And will his love for the artist's wife interfere with his decision? A fascinating tug-of-war between art and science...and love, as only Shaw could tell it.
