Krister Henriksson will make his West End debut next year in Doktor Glas. The production will transfer to the Wyndham's Theatre in April following its run at Sweden's National Theatre. Adapted from the novel by Hjalmer Söderberg and performed in its original Swedish with English surtitles, the one-man play will run at Wyndham’s from 16th April to 11 May 2013.
Directed by Henriksson and Peder Bjurman, Doktor Glas tells the story of a 19th century physician who falls madly in love with the beautiful young wife of a corrupt clergyman. When she confides in him that her marriage is making her miserable, he agrees to help in whatever way he can, driving the play towards its shocking.
