Good Doctor: A new comedy with music by Neil Simon adapted and suggested by stories by Anton Chekhov

The nine vignettes of The Good Doctor are linked by the narration of The Writer himself, who offers wise and droll comment on the characters he has created. The sketches present a most appealing balance of hilarious and poignant moments. For instance... "Surgery" -in which a painful toothache becomes a laughing matter, as a sexton is pitted against a clumsy dental student. "The Seducer"-in which an expert in the art of seduction invites us to observe his long-distance method of wooing a married woman by using her unsuspecting husband to relay amorous messages. "The Arrangement"-in which a father decides upon an educational gift for his naive son's nineteenth birthday: a visit to a brothel. "The Sneeze"-in which an insecure government clerk has the misfortune to sneeze on the bald head of his bureau chief-the consequences of the splattering are shattering.
