Arthur Schnitzler’s rarely performed 1918 classic was given its first London outing in 75 years by Dumbfounded Theatre and Oxford Stage Company in a spiky, fresh new version by Samuel Adamson.

It was Time Out No.1 Critics’ Choice and one of The Independent’s Top Shows of 2005. The production was also broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

Guardian Theatre Critic Michael Billington’s review of Professor Bernhardi is republished in his book AFFAIR OF THE HEART, his overview of outstanding British theatre from 1992-2020.
