De Ambrogi, Marco
The Lancet (British edition), 09/2019, Volume: 394, Issue: 10202Journal Article
Manuel Harlan While Schnitzler focused on the struggle between medicine and religion and the creeping antisemitism in Viennese society, Icke broadens the narrative to encompass gender, race, sexuality, and class, thus giving the play a complexity in line with modern times. ...Icke plays with the unconscious bias of the audience by casting women to play men and revealing the gender, religion, and ethnicity of characters only later in the play. While Wolff defines herself foremost as a doctor, she is violently attacked for being Jewish, white, a woman, a supporter of the right to abortion, and an educated person, depending on how convenient the defining characteristics are to support the argument of her critics. ...the play makes clear how in our society identities can become weaponised and pitted against each other. The Doctor is a powerful reflection on our outrage culture that goes beyond the original conflict between medicine and faith to question the limits of political correctness and the dangers of social media witch-hunts.
