A theatre production starring Oscar-winning actor Mark Rylance will finally open its doors in a world-first show launching in Bristol this week.
Dr Semmelweis was initially intended as the centrepiece of Bristol Old Vic’s 2020 programme, but the theatre was forced to cancel rehearsals due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The production is fronted by internationally acclaimed actor Mark Rylance of Wolf Hall and Jerusalem fame, who is known for his role in Bridge of Spies alongside Tom Hanks, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2015. More recently, the 62-year-old portrayed billionaire Peter Isherwell in Netflix hit Don't Look Up.
