The Doctor's Dilemma

A tragedy by Bernard Shaw
Presented by T. Edward Hambleton and Norris Houghton

A question of medical ethics is central to The Doctor's Dilemma: Dr. Colenso Ridgeon must choose between saving Louis Dubedat, a talented and charming artist who has borrowed money with no intention of repayment and has deceived his devoted wife Jennifer, and helping a poverty-stricken doctor who treats indigent patients. The dilemma is further complicated when the doctor falls in love with Jennifer.
