If you could choose to save the life of either a brilliant but unbalanced artist or a stable, kindly medical student, what would you do? That's the dilemma at the heart of Shaw's play The Doctor's Dilemma. This fascinating work delves into a Pandora's Box of ethical and moral questions about the value of human life and the decision-making process itself.
