The Doctor's Dilemma was first produced on 20 November 1906 at the Royal Court Theatre.[6]

Actress Katharine Cornell produced the play on Broadway in 1941, starring herself and Raymond Massey.[7]

In 1942 Binkie Beaumont produced the play as a vehicle for Vivien Leigh. After a 6 month provincial tour it opened in London's West End at the Haymarket where it ran for over a year.

A film adaptation of the play, with the same title, was made in 1958, directed by Anthony Asquith, starring Leslie Caron and Dirk Bogarde.[8]

The play’s most recent high-profile revival (2012) was on the Lyttelton stage at the National Theatre in London.[9] The production was directed by Nadia Fall, with Aden Gillett playing the eponymous doctor, Genevieve O'Reilly as Jennifer Dubedat, and Tom Burke as Louis Dubedat. The production received middling reviews.[10][11]
