Robert Icke's "The Doctor"

THE DOCTOR

ROBERT ICKE

WELCOME

We are excited to welcome director Robert Icke back to the Armory for the North American premiere of his multi-award-winning West End hit The Doctor featuring acclaimed theater and film actor Juliet Stevenson in the title role. Robert is one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary directors, and we could not be prouder to work with him again to bring this lauded production over from London.

Robert’s writing and adaptation transforms period texts into modern living pieces of art, rendering the plots completely accessible to audiences today. In The Doctor, Robert breathes fresh life into Arthur Schnitzler’s 1912 play Professor Bernhardi, reigniting what was revolutionary and controversial in its day to create a piece seemingly ripped from news today. Robert uses the medium of theater to incite dialogue and argument, drawing audiences into an enthralling moral dilemma around race, religion, science, and gender identity. The result is a compelling work that traces how the collision of personal beliefs reverberates into public conflict in a polarized society. It is a story of our times drawn from one written over 100 years ago.

Juliet leads this stellar cast as Professor Ruth Wolff, a role that earned her the Critics’ Circle Theatre Award for Best Actress and an Olivier nomination for productions at the Almeida Theatre and in London’s West End. The production marks Juliet’s third collaboration with Robert; she previously starred in his Almeida and West End productions of Mary Stuart and Hamlet. We are proud to bring her back to the New York stage for the first time in 20 years to revive this revelatory performance.

THE DOCTOR IN CONTEXT:

ARTHUR SCHNITZLER AND HIS MEDICAL DRAMA PROFESSOR BERNHARDI

Doctors have appeared as characters in plays since late medieval times and were for centuries stereotyped as ineffectual comic figures, lewd and prone to drunkenness, touting bogus cures and enriching themselves at the expense of credulous patients. As medicine became more scientific, scope for satire remained, but doctors increasingly came to stand for common sense and common humanity. Since the later 19th century, the theater (and latterly also film and television) has shown us not only the doctor-patient relationship and the ethical dilemmas of clinical practice but also the institutional politics of the hospital. As a free adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler’s much-debated medical drama Professor Bernhardi (1912), Robert Icke’s The Doctor continues this tradition. In both plays the title figure, an eminent physician of Jewish descent, denies a Catholic priest access to a patient who is dying of sepsis following an unregulated abortion. The following four acts chart the personal and political fallout from that confrontation, asking whether it is possible for medicine to uphold a rational, humanist world-view that transcends identity politics. Despite the intervening century, both Schnitzler and Icke answer by presenting medical institutions riven by racial and religious differences, antisemitism, careerism, and political intrigue.

While Icke writes from a contemporary British perspective, Arthur Schnitzler was at once a major figure of European modernism and a quintessentially Viennese writer. He was born in the city in 1862, and it remained his home until his death in 1931. The topography of Vienna and its distinctive landmarks feature prominently in his work, together with a broad cross-section of its late 19th- and early 20th-century inhabitants—including, in Professor Bernhardi, fictional representatives of its medical establishment. Other identity markers that one might attach to Schnitzler are less neat. He was a doctor-writer, ultimately choosing a literary over a medical career but unmistakably influenced by his medical training. And, as he asserted in December 1914, he was “a Jew, an Austrian, a German.” Like the hyphenated compound “doctor-writer,” the juxtaposition of Jewish heritage, Austrian citizenship, and German culture speaks of complex and potentially conflicted private and public identities.

The Schnitzlers were a medical family. Arthur’s maternal grandfather had been a doctor; his father, Johann Schnitzler, was an eminent laryngologist; his brother, Julius, became a surgeon; and his sister,

Gisela, married her father’s protégé, Markus Hajek, whose patients were to include Sigmund Freud and Franz Kafka. It was taken for granted that Arthur would study medicine, and he duly qualified in 1885, subsequently becoming his father’s assistant; however, working in hospitals exacerbated his tendency to hypochondria, and he was never entirely committed to either clinical practice or medical research. Having started to publish poems in the 1880s, he wanted to be a professional writer and, after his father’s death in 1893, he resigned his post.

As a doctor-writer Schnitzler brought not only insider knowledge of the Viennese medical milieu but also a distinctive skill set to his literary work. Training in rational, evidence-based diagnosis can be applied to both literary characters and broader social ills, while writing medical case histories encourages clarity of expression and scrupulous attention to detail. As he admitted in his posthumously published autobiography, My Youth in Vienna , he was far more interested in afflictions of the mind than in those of the body, an interest rooted “not so much in medicine proper as in their poetic or literary character.” Indeed, the idea that literary diagnoses can be as insightful as medical ones was acknowledged by Freud, who in 1922 described Schnitzler as his Doppelgänger, a literary double who had achieved through intuition what he, Freud, had accomplished through painstaking clinical research. In his early work, Schnitzler directed his diagnostic gaze primarily towards the private sphere and its social regulation. Plays and stories depict love relationships and erotic encounters that frequently cut across the boundaries of social class, notably in his breakthrough play Liebelei (1895; Englishlanguage versions include Dalliance and Sweet Nothings) and in the scandalous sexual daisy chain Reigen (1900, known internationally as La Ronde).

Professor Bernhardi, completed in 1912, confounded expectations. There is no love interest, one female character (in a minor role), and only one moment of dramatic action—the confrontation between doctor and priest. Although the play draws on elements of Johann Schnitzler’s biography (like Bernhardi he co-founded a charitably funded hospital in 1872), the depiction of Viennese public life is more reflective of the early 20 th century, when Professor Bernhardi took shape. By then the liberals were a spent force in Austria’s parliament,

overwhelmed by the rise of radical mass parties on the right and left, and by the resulting climate of intolerance and intransigence; political language was often divisive and intemperate; and antisemitism was becoming increasingly commonplace. Coincidentally, these were the years when Adolf Hitler was eking out a living in Vienna. Resolving in 1909 to continue writing his “doctors play,” Schnitzler noted in his diary that he could work into it “a lot of his disgust” at contemporary public life.

Professor Bernhardi is not, however, a straightforward “state-of-thenation” play, any more than The Doctor conclusively takes sides. Schnitzler was too much of an individualist and saw too many complexities to write unequivocally in the service of any political cause. His title figure insists that he merely did what he believed to be right in a particular circumstance and rejects all attempts to politicize his case. In his obstinacy, Bernhardi becomes comic—indeed, Schnitzler privately termed the play a “comedy of character.” Attempts to read Professor Bernhardi as a state-of-the-nation play are also frustrated by Schnitzler’s refusal to use illness as a metaphor. This stance contrasts with Ibsen’s Enemy of the People (1882)—another “doctor play” with which Professor Bernhardi is often compared—where the contaminated water source becomes a rather obvious metaphor for political corruption. In Professor Bernhardi, the many references to syphilis—which, like the thematization of Alzheimer’s disease in The Doctor, remind us what is medically at stake—never become explicit symptoms of broader social malaise, and the young woman dying of sepsis (the word literally means putrefaction) remains as much an individual patient as a symbol of “something rotten” in the state of Austria.

Schnitzler may stop short of making Professor Bernhardi an obvious state-of-the-nation play, but the Austrian censor recognized the potential and refused to license it for performance, with documentation later released citing as the main reason Schnitzler’s unflattering depiction of Austrian public life. Professor Bernhardi was first performed not in Vienna but in Berlin, on November 28, 1912. Against fierce Catholic and antisemitic opposition, Schnitzler’s cause, like that of his title figure, was taken up, in Austria’s parliament and in the press, by liberal and left-wing groups. The irony was not lost on Schnitzler. In a letter of October 1913, he admitted somewhat

sheepishly: “It has always been in my nature not to walk in step with others, even when I find myself sharing the path with friends.” Despite their efforts, the Viennese premiere of Professor Bernhardi had to wait until December 21, 1918. As Schnitzler remarked in a letter to his boyhood friend Eugen Deimel, who had emigrated to New York in 1882: “It took the fall of the House of Habsburg, the defeat of Austria, and a Revolution—to make that [production] possible. Somewhat costly, you’ll say, and rightly so.” The events of 1918 were to change radically what it meant to be Austrian, accelerating a process that was ultimately to deny Jewish citizens the right to identify as German and brutally suppress the Jewish contribution to cultural and intellectual life in the German-speaking world.

Professor Bernhardi reached New York whilst the play was still banned from performance in Austria. The Irving Place Theatre mounted a production for the city’s German-speaking community in January 1914, reviving it in March 1918, despite wartime antiGerman sentiment. An abridged translation by “Mrs Emil Pohli” (Kate Pohli-MacLoed) appeared in American bookshops in 1913 and was re-issued by Haldeman-Julius in the iconic “Little Blue Book” series in 1925. The new title, The Anti-Semites, makes clear which aspect of the play’s identity politics came to the fore. Thereafter the impetus switched to London, as a complete translation, produced for the Jewish Drama League in 1927, was taken up Simon and Schuster in America the following year. Readings of this text paved the way for the first English-language production, staged in London in 1936 and directed by Schnitzler’s son Heinrich. The uncertain months following the Nazi annexation of Austria in March 1938 saw Heinrich Schnitzler, who had secured American visas for himself and his family, negotiating feverishly to restage Professor Bernhardi in New York. His efforts came to naught and, aside from Vienna’s Burgtheater guesting at City Center in 1968, Schnitzler’s play has not been seen in the city since 1918.

UNRAVELLING UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

BY DR. PRAGYA AGARWAL

We are often told to trust our own instincts. “Listen to that feeling in the pit of your stomach,” we are reminded. We might think that our gut instinct is just an inner feeling—a secret interior voice—but in fact it is shaped by a perception of something visible around us, such as a facial expression, a tone of voice, or a visual inconsistency so fleeting that often we’re not even aware we’ve noticed it. We all rely so much on our first impressions of others. The way they look, the way they talk or walk, how tall they might be, what clothes they wear, whether they have a beard or not, whether they have tattoos or piercings, what accent they have, what religion they belong to, we quickly slot people we meet into the boxes and labels we have created in our brains. These are the mental models of the world we have formed as we have navigated through it since our early childhood, a sort of template that acts as a guide for us to quickly make sense of people and situations, and we match any incoming new information to these existing templates, much like a “visual matching game” we played as children.

A stressed, rushed, or tired person is more likely to resort to this visual matching. When they see a situation in front of them, they quickly match it to a sea of past experiences stored in a mental knowledge bank and then, based on a match, they assign meaning to the information in front of them. Social norms also underlie our gut instinct about people. Our default bias is associated with these social norms. Often bias is created when a particular object or person does not meet the normative standards in society, and our instinct is to view them with suspicion and to alienate or stigmatize them. Our beliefs and attitudes towards others can arise in two different ways as a result of two different processes: usually, there is the implicit or unconscious process (System 1), and the explicit or more conscious process (System 2), to exercise our cognitive rational thinking. System 1 is rapid, more subjective, and value-, context- and domainspecific. System 2 is more controlled. When we are rushed, stressed, and relying on gut instinct there is no time to deploy the slower and more deliberate System 2, and we are more likely to fall back on our implicit biases.

Often our perceptions of the world go unchallenged, being shaped by what we hear and see around us, what kind of people we interact with, what the political messaging is, what the media, magazines, newspapers tell us. And we selectively choose people’s attributes that confirm our existing stereotypes. It is too uncomfortable and tiring

to shift our mindsets; it is much less cognitively taxing to stick with what we have always believed in.

The philosopher Karl Popper proposed that there is a tendency to confirm a hypothesis rather than falsify it, and so if—because of a prior experience or because of what you have read in books and research— you already believe that men are better at reading maps than women, then you might place greater importance on any “evidence” that supports what you already believe, and rate it more relevant, rather than focus on facts and evidence that help you disprove this bias. In an election, people will seek out information that confirms their favored candidate as the best. They have a bias towards a particular candidate because they might have similar beliefs as theirs, or because of their race or gender. They might even seek “proof” that further backs up this belief while discounting examples that don’t support the idea. Unfortunately, this stops them from making an informed and rational decision. We are motivated to protect our own existing views, also called my-side bias. Often, people refer to this as “trusting their gut.”

Humans are not naturally rational. Information overload is exhausting and confusing for us, so we filter out the noise. We only see parts of the world. We tend to notice things that are repeating, whether there are any patterns or outliers, and we tend to preserve memory and prevent cognitive overload by generalizing and resorting to type. We bullet-point our memories, draw conclusions from sparse data and use cognitive shortcuts to create a version of reality that we implicitly want to believe in. Once this reduced stream of information comes in, we connect the dots, fill in the gaps with stuff we already think we know, and update our mental models of the world. But when this happens, we can sometimes filter out information that would help us make rational, logical, and unbiased decisions, and we are more likely to imagine connections and information that reinforce the biases we carry.

Humans form in-group/out-group associations, drawing lines where none exist. We want to feel a sense of belonging, and so we are likely to conform to the wider view of those who are part of our in-group, those membership groups that we feel most affinity with, and those we consider to be instrumental in defining our identities, e.g., people who are of the same race or gender or support the same football team or political party. And then we favor the in-group members but perceive

the out-group people as a single homogenous mass and more likely to stereotype them. We find it easier to ignore the quirks and foibles of those who we consider to be in-group, and more likely to discriminate against those that are “outsiders”: we are evolutionarily designed to see them as threat, and often these differences and memberships and affinities can be shaped by polarized political messaging. Divide and rule has worked for a long time.

Technology is not bias-free either. It can be sexist, racist, ableist, ageist. Using technology and AI isn’t the panacea to resolving or bypassing our implicit biases. Instead, they imitate the biases of the design team and wider society, they inherit the biases in the dataset they have learned and trained on, and they bring these biases to the decision-making process. If the design team is not diverse, they have cognitive blind spots. The team is unlikely to even consider the lack of inclusivity or the bias they are embedding in the technology they are creating.

We often think that unconscious bias only covers race and gender, but it is far more pervasive than that. Disability, sexuality, body size, religious affiliation, political association, profession, and so on all influence the assessments we make of people and form the basis of our relationship with others and the world at large. Stand-up comedians often exploit our unconscious biases to deliver effective punchlines, testing our implicit bias through the use of paraprosdokians —a figure of speech that allows a speaker to play with expectations, to introduce new meanings by tapping into our tendency to form quick judgements and biases. For instance, Groucho Marx said, “I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening; but this wasn’t it.” See what he did?! We assume he is talking about this particular evening, but of course he isn’t. He moves away from the cliché and delivers the punchline, testing our implicit bias. In producing meaning, the paraprosdokian goes beyond our expectations of language, with the joke resolving only when we find the right framework in which to interpret it. Then there’s a “click” and realization of an incongruity, and we have the sudden shift in perspective.

This is “Incongruity Resolution Theory,” where manipulations of our mental categories and schemas—processes of which we are not consciously aware—are given an off-beat spin. A play like The Doctor also does this. Here this creates discomfort and irony, when we suddenly become aware of how much we have relied on our own

unconscious biases. In other circumstances it can have significant social consequences, since in normal everyday situations we rarely have the opportunity to resolve the incongruities.

Numerous studies and datasets have beyond doubt shown that disparity and inequality exist, and it is difficult to explain this from a purely structural point of view without considering implicit bias and prejudice. I believe that psychological bias and societal norms and practices interact to create inequities, and neither is more significant than the other; rather they act together to create outcomes that are different in different contexts.

Understanding more about unconscious bias is not going to magically fix all the injustices in the world. But, if we start becoming more aware of our unconscious bias and what triggers when we are most vulnerable to it, we will become more attuned to the consequences of externalizing our unconscious biases in the form of behavioral outcomes. And if we actively exercise strategies to mitigate and counter our unconscious biases, we can hopefully finally put a dent in them.

In examining our internalized implicit biases and stereotypes, reflecting on them, flipping, a knowledge framework is being created within which we start holding people morally responsible and accountable for their implicitly held beliefs and any prejudicial and discriminatory actions resulting from this bias. We can do this while not attributing bias to these individuals, so that the focus remains on the harmful effect of their actions rather than the focus being primarily on making the biased individual feel guilty or legally responsible for their unconscious biases. Then again, as soon as we become aware of our beliefs and stereotypes but do nothing to minimize them, we are completely morally responsible for any actions that result from such stereotypical beliefs.

NAVIGATING CIRCLES

EXPLORING ARTISTIC EXPRESSION WITH ARMORY ARTS EDUCATION

PROGRAMS

The circles we encounter in our lives can provide great comfort—our inner circle of friends, moments that come full circle, and even, in a very meta way, the circle of life. But the circles that audiences encounter in Robert Icke’s The Doctor seem to strike a different tone. Here, we see people either literally running in circles or standing frozen while the world literally circles around them. Here, what’s perceived as your inner circle can be used against you. Here, arguments circle around and around with no resolution. Today’s young people are intimately familiar with the kind of ever-spinning circle of conflict depicted in The Doctor. They have grown up with the internet and its comment threads, and they have witnessed demands for accountability being used as weapons against meaningful and important discourse. But this familiarity and their associated ability to deftly navigate these spirals may also mean that they are the ones in the best position to find a new way forward. The Armory’s Arts Education programs support young people’s advocacy for change by offering art—both the consuming and the making of it—as a way to get to the root of the issues they hope to address.

Arts Education at Park Avenue Armory provides unique artistic engagements and educational programming free of charge to New York City public school students, offering opportunities for students to think creatively and trust their own aesthetic judgments, while encouraging the arts as an avenue for personal experience, reflection, and expression. Approximately 400 New York City public high school students dove into The Doctor through the Armory’s ProductionBased Program, attending a student-only matinee at the end of the school year. Pre-visit workshops used embodied text from the script to explore the concepts of ethics and identity prior to seeing the show, with students thinking about what it means to be “right” and who gets to choose that, and how one’s identity (individual and group; chosen and assigned) impacts that equation. In post-show workshops, students used different art forms to think creatively about how the arts can be an antidote to life’s more menacing circles by forging the human-to-human relationships necessary to navigate the complexities of life. Additionally, through the Armory’s Partner School Program—

which offers long-term, customized residencies that support school curriculum and community goals at eight current partner schools— creative writing students from Vanguard High School used The Doctor (and the Armory’s previous production of Alexander Zeldin’s LOVE ) as inspiration for a spring semester project. Students identified connections between the two plays and created digital zines featuring dance and original poetry that focused on the underpinning call for radical love and hope found in the two productions.

The Armory’s Youth Corps Program offers paid and closely mentored internship programs for students ages 16-25+. This summer, High School Youth Corps interns are creating art that explores ethical dilemmas, inspired by The Doctor. As participants work towards their culminating project, they are interrogating the ethical and moral dilemmas that most interest them through arts-based activities, trips, and robust discussions. This project starts with students seeing Icke’s play and engaging with members of the creative team to understand the concept, artistic choices, and creative process that led up to this work. Additionally, they are experiencing art outside of the Armory that further tasks them to investigate ethical and moral dilemmas that exist in our world. With this foundation, they are collaborating over the course of the summer to produce their own site-specific performance and visual installations that they are sharing at the end of the program.

Circles may be the strongest shape in nature, but that quality also means that cycles can be the hardest patterns to break. Arts Education programs at Park Avenue Armory offer young people in New York City opportunities and agency to explore artistic expression as a way to move away from the ongoing circular fight—that right vs. wrong, me vs. you, us vs. them—and explore the possibilities that are only found in the middle. Because once you can acknowledge that instead of a narrow ring there can be a full sphere with its “technicolour, thousand-fold complexity,” you can start to find the “silver bullet ” of hope that Ruth speaks of in the play; hope for cycles to shift, common ground to be found, and communities to connect.

ABOUT PARK AVENUE ARMORY

Part palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory supports unconventional works in the performing and visual arts that cannot be fully realized in a traditional proscenium theater, concert hall, or white wall gallery. With its soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall—reminiscent of 19th-century European train stations—and an array of exuberant period rooms, the Armory provides a platform for artists to push the boundaries of their practice, collaborate across disciplines, and create new work in dialogue with the historic building. Across its grand and intimate spaces, the Armory enables a diverse range of artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to experience epic, adventurous, relevant work that cannot be done elsewhere in New York.

The Armory both commissions and presents performances and installations in the grand Drill Hall and offers more intimate programming through its acclaimed Recital Series, which showcases musical talent from across the globe within the salon setting of the Board of Officers Room; its Artists Studio series curated by Jason Moran in the restored Veterans Room; Making Space at the Armory, a public programming series that brings together a discipline-spanning group of artists and cultural thought-leaders around the important issues of our time; and the Malkin Lecture Series that features

presentations by scholars and writers on topics related to Park Avenue Armory and its history. In addition, the Armory also has a year-round Artists-in-Residence program, providing space and support for artists to create new work and expand their practices.

The Armory’s creativity-based arts education programs provide access to the arts to thousands of students from underserved New York City public schools, engaging them with the institution’s artistic programming and outside-the-box creative processes. Through its education initiatives, the Armory provides access to all Drill Hall performances, workshops taught by Master Teaching Artists, and in-depth residencies that support the schools’ curriculum. Youth Corps, the Armory’s year-round paid internship program, begins in high school and continues into the critical post-high school years, providing interns with mentored employment, job training, and skill development, as well as a network of peers and mentors to support their individual college and career goals.

The Armory is undergoing a multi-phase renovation and restoration of its historic building led by architects Herzog & de Meuron, with Platt Byard Dovell White as Executive Architects.

NEXT AT THE ARMORY

MAKING SPACE

SALON: HIDDEN CONVERSATIONS

Sunday, June 18

In celebration of Juneteenth Day, Park Avenue Armory partners with National Black Theatre to illuminate and share the wisdom of the forebearers of culture and society. This event will create cultural awareness and fresh excitement around hidden cultural moments that shaped thoughts, experiences, and visions for the future.

RECITAL SERIES

JULIA BULLOCK, SOPRANO

September 11 & 13

Known for “communicat[ing] intense, authentic feeling, as if she were singing right from her soul” (Opera News), American soprano Julia Bullock returns to the Armory after the North American premiere of Michel van der Aa’s technologically ambitious chamber opera Upload in 2022 for an intimate program in the Board of Officers room that beautifully showcases her versatile artistry and probing intellect.

DOPPELGANGER

September 22 - 28

World Premiere, A Park Avenue Armory Commission

Franz Schubert ’s Schwanengesang (Swan Song) traverses a myriad of emotions, from despair and delusion to ecstasy and love, to form a series of masterful snapshots of all that life can offer. These emotive works are given a thrilling new life in the world premiere of a theatrical staging by Claus Guth. Performed by tenor Jonas Kaufmann with pianist Helmut Deutsch, the heart-melting collection of songs is amplified by additional Schubert repertory, an evocative soundscape, and transformative light and video projections to create a production that is part performance and part installation art. Named for the last song “Der Döppelganger,” in which a soldier comes to terms with death, this Armory commission explores the hunger for life and the idea that death is not a sudden moment but a last journey.

RECITAL SERIES SANDBOX PERCUSSION

October 1 & 3

Sandbox Percussion has established themselves as a leading proponent of this generation of contemporary percussion chamber music, captivating audiences with performances that are both visually and aurally striking while showcasing the imagination, integrity, and courage of their music making. Their unique mix of youthful energy with the precision of a well-established group is on full display in the Veterans Room with a lively program that vibrantly underscores their solid technique, rhythmical musicality, and lively showmanship.
