In the play, Ruth Wolff (Juliet Stevenson) is a secular Jew who runs a prestigious institute specialising in Alzheimer’s disease. When Ruth prevents a priest from seeing a 14-year-old girl who is dying from a self-administered abortion, the incident goes viral on social media, provoking petitions and TV debates, jeopardising both Ruth’s future, and that of the institute.
Following The Doctor at the Duke of York’s will be brand new pantomime Mother Goose, starring Ian McKellen, John Bishop and Mel Giedroyc, playing at the Duke of York’s from 15 December 2022 to 29 January 2023.
