Yesterday we paid a visit to the Harold Pinter Theatre, to see Dr Semmelweis. Some fantastic performances - from Mark Rylance, Pauline McLynn and the whole cast - and the inclusion of music and dance really added to the interpretation of the history. A quite harrowing story, interestingly told.

Mark Rylance was great last night as always but loved the strings and dancers (and the message - listen to scientists) #DrSemmelweis https://chatterboxstilltalkingnonsense.blogspot.com/2023/07/dr-semmelweis.html
Dr Semmelweis

Mark Rylance back on stage again is always a moment for celebration, even when I am back in the gods, looking mainly at the top of his head....

Dr. Semmelweis at the Harold Pinter Theatre tonight, on what would have been the doctor's 205th birthday. Good to see a hugely important episode of medical history get staged in a well-written, imaginatively staged play. Sir Mark Rylance once again proving he is possibly the best actor in the world right now. Highly recommended. #DrSemmelweis #HaroldPinter #MarkRylance
