College Theatre/Theatre One

This Broadway hit is a composite of Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov, narrated by "The Writer" and told through a series of delightful sketches that are outright hilarious, thoughtful and full of infectious humor.  In one story a vicious, scolding woman storms a bank and upbraids the manager for his gout and lack of money. In another, a father takes his son to a house where he will be initiated into the mysteries of sex, only to relent at the last moment and leave the boy more perplexed than ever. In another sketch, a crafty seducer goes to work on a wedded woman, only to realize that the woman has been in command from the first overture. According to critics, The Good Doctor has "A great deal of warmth and humor in his retelling of these Chekhovian tales." and "There is much fun here. Mr. Simon's comic fancy is admirable."
