Abstract

George Bernard Shaw's famous play, Doctor's Dilemma (1), is one of the attractions at the Shaw Festival this year, and recently we went to see it on a beautiful Niagara summer day, followed by a picnic beside Ball's Falls. Several weeks earlier, I had decided to read the play, with its 80-page "Preface on Doctors", and was prepared for an anticlimactic experience on the day. However, the production was a delight and I gained additional insights from the live performance.
