Bernard Shaw's "The Doctor's Dilemma" takes a gleeful look at the dubious ethics of the men who play God.

Harley Street doctor Colenso Ridgeon's new tuberculosis treatment remains experimental, and he is restricted to using just ten patients.

But when the striking and persuasive Jennifer Dubedat arrives, determined to save the life of her husband, the doctor is beguiled into adding his name to the list, at the expense of another. But as soon as the deed's been done, the doctor is confronted by Dubedat's questionable morality...

The Lyttelton Theatre is part of the National Theatre complex (consisting of the Lyttelton, Cottesloe and Oliver Theatre). It seats around under 900 people on two different levels, and with no pillars or walls to block your eyeline, there really is not a bad seat in the house.

Liola at National Theatre – 31st July, 1st to 3rd, 5th to 8th, and 13th to 18th August 2013
Performed by an Irish cast with gypsy musicians, “Liola” is a high-spirited drama that is unexpected, funny and touching. It takes us into the heart of a rural community where property and kinship provoke fierce passions. But Liola, a young man untroubled by tradition, takes the part of nature all the way. 

 

Children Of The Sun at National Theatre – 17th to 20th May, 7th to 12th, 18th to 20th, 27th to 30th June, 5th to 8th, and 11th to 14th July 2013
Maxim Gorky’s “Children of the Sun” is set in Russia just before the revolution. It follows the new middle-class as they flounder about, philosophising and flirting, blind to their impending annihilation. Protasov immerses himself in chemical experiments, oblivious to his best friend’s pursuit of his wife, and the starving mob outside his house. Whilst his admiring circle spar over culture and the cosmos, only Liza feels the peoples’ suffering and senses their own privileged world is in jeopardy.
