Dr. Semmelweis

Following a sold-out run at the Bristol Old Vic, the incomparable Mark Rylance (Jerusalem), winner of an Academy Award, three BAFTA Awards, two Olivier Awards and three Tony Awards, returns to the West End as one of medicine’s greatest pioneers, maverick Hungarian doctor Ignaz Semmelweis.

In Vienna, a city of artistic and scientific revolution, thousands of women are still dying in childbirth each and every year.  Only Dr. Semmelweis can see the invisible killer at work, but to stop it, he must convince his colleagues to admit culpability and approve change.

Can he finally convince the greatest doctors of 19th century Europe to accept his argument – and what will it cost him to make an impossible case?
