Arthur Schnitzler’s Professor Bernhardi
Arthur Schnitzler unlikely comedy Professor Bernhardi (1912) tells the story of a Jewish doctor who prevents a Catholic priest from giving the last rites to a patient who is unaware that she is dying. A new adaptation takes a wry look at the ethical choices that have to be made in hospitals and are as relevant now as they were in Schnitzler’s time.
The Schnitzler Digital Edition Project is pleased to announce a new translation and adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler’s Professor Bernhardi in collaboration with the London-based theatre company [Foreign Affairs]. Performances of Schnitzler’s hard-edged medical comedy will take place at Barts Pathology Museum, London, from 23 to 25 September 2015. The Production is accompanied by the symposium ‘“Dying Well”: Enacting Medical Ethics’.Tickets and further details are available on the [Foreign Affairs] website. All welcome.
