"The Good Doctor, of course, is not a play at all. There are sketches,
vaudeville scenes, if you will, written with my non-consenting collaborator,
Anton Chekhov. Not the Chekhov of The Sea Gull and The Three Sisters, but
the young man who wrote humorous articles for the newspapers to pay his way
through medical school."   - Neil Simon 

 


The combination of America's playwright Neil Simon and the works of Russian
playwright Anton Chekhov form to provide a comedy with both intelligence and
slapstick. Simon's puns and glib one-liners abound, but there's also an
undertone of sadness and pain that shades the events being told. 

The Good Doctor is set in Russia in the late 1800s and is a two-act comedy
consisting of five scenes in each act. The scenes are individual vignettes
tied together by a narrator, the Writer, who represents Chekhov himself. By
turns farcical, poignant, and blackly humored; the stories feature a wide
range of characters: bureaucrats and Generals, oldsters looking for love, a
father trying to help his son become a man, clever peasants and seducers. 

 


Each actor selected will play multiple roles, which gives both the artist
and audience an opportunity to experience the portrayal of a variety of
characters. 

Needed: up to 5 women and up to 5 men, ages 20 - 65+ 
Readings will be from the script. 

 

Production Dates: October 17 - 26, 2008
