Neil Simon’s The Good Doctor is an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s short stories for the stage. We are invited into the home of an unnamed writer suffering from a case of writer’s block. In trying to rid himself of his affliction, he tells a series of stories examining the humour and the heart of humanity. A cast of memorable characters from an acting troupe plays out the stories as each scene is introduced, drawing us into their worlds for a short time before the writer whisks us on to the next one. The Good Doctor places a lens on humans’ absurd, outlandish, ludicrous, poignant, and merely odd frailties and enables us to laugh at ourselves.
