About This Item

IDB Productions, 2017-01-01. MP3 CD. New. The Doctor's Dilemma is a drama written by George Bernard Shaw first shown in 1906. It is a drama about some issues of the ethical and principled predicaments made by some degrees of health and fitness means, and the disputes in the middle of the needs of private medicine as a business venture and a serious profession. </br></br>George Bernard Shaw, recognized at his persistence commonly as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish dramatist who had both British and Irish citizenship, critic and polemicist whose sway on Western theatre, culture and politics prolonged from the 1880s to his death and thereafter. He had over 60 dramas, consisting of most important works including Man and Superman, Pygmalion and Saint Joan. With a variety integrating both contemporary humor and historic metaphor, Shaw was the primary playwright of his time. He was the first one to be awarded both a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award, being given the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature and sharing the 1938 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the motion picture version of Pygmalion. </br></br>He was born in Dublin, then emigrated to London where he made himself well-known as a writer and novelist. In the middle of 1880s he was a valued theatre and music critic. Ensuing a political awareness, he associated himself with the gradualist Fabian Society and became its mostly known pamphleteer. He had been making dramas for years before his first public prestige, 1894's Arms and the Man. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen, he pursued to present a new pragmatism into English-language play, using his dramas as tools to propagate his political, social and religious thoughts. In the beginning of 20th century his being a playwright was held with a series of analytical and famous feats such as Major Barbara, The Doctor's Dilemma and Caesar and Cleopatra.

Synopsis

From the book:On the 15th June 1903, in the early forenoon, a medical student, surname Redpenny, Christian name unknown and of no importance, sits at work in a doctor's consulting-room. He devils for the doctor by answering his letters, acting as his domestic laboratory assistant, and making himself indispensable generally, in return for unspecified advantages involved by intimate intercourse with a leader of his profession, and amounting to an informal apprenticeship and a temporary affiliation. Redpenny is not proud, and will do anything he is asked without reservation of his personal dignity if he is asked in a fellow-creaturely way. He is a wide-open-eyed, ready, credulous, friendly, hasty youth, with his hair and clothes in reluctant transition from the untidy boy to the tidy doctor. Redpenny is interrupted by the entrance of an old serving-woman who has never known the cares, the preoccupations, the responsibilities, jealousies, and anxieties of personal beauty. She has the complexion of a never-washed gypsy, incurable by any detergent; and she has, not a regular beard and moustaches, which could at least be trimmed and waxed into a masculine presentableness, but a whole crop of small beards and moustaches, mostly springing from moles all over her face. She carries a duster and toddles about meddle-somely, spying out dust so diligently that whilst she is flicking off one speck she is already looking elsewhere for another. In conversation she has the same trick, hardly ever looking at the person she is addressing except when she is excited. She has only one manner, and that is the manner of an old family nurse to a child just after it has learnt to walk. She has used her ugliness to secure indulgences unattainable by Cleopatra or Fair Rosamund, and has the further great advantage over them that age increases her qualifi-cation instead of impairing it. Being an industrious, agreeable, and popular old soul, she is a walking sermon on the vanity of feminine prettiness. Just as Redpenny has no discovered Christian name, she has no discovered surname, and is known throughout the doctors' quarter between Cavendish Square and the Marylebone Road simply as Emmy.
