Becoming Dr Ruth

by Andy Jordan Productions and Persistent Turtle

Preview · Thu 6 Aug2 for 1 · Mon 10 Aug – Tue 11 Aug14+

Dr Ruth Westheimer shattered taboos, making possible frank public conversations about sex and intimacy. With a twinkle in her eye and an infectious giggle, her wise, disarming advice made her into an unlikely household name. This funny and moving solo play charts her astonishing journey from escaping Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport to international celebrity at 50 as TV's most beloved sex therapist. At just 4'7", her larger-than-life story proves size doesn't matter. Broadway's Anne O'Sullivan 'keeps us hanging on every word' (New York Times) and 'leaves you laughing until your sides ache' (Chronogram Magazine). UK premiere.
