The Good Doctor
By Neil Simon
Who's ready for some raucous Russian comedy, told with unique flair by a beloved American playwright?
We present to you Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor," his rendition of a collection of Anton Chekhov's really funny Russian tales. Meet the Drowner, a strange little fellow who charges folks to watch him perform a drowning in the river, the Sneezer who believes his world has ended when he erupts in a massive sneeze on his boss at the theater, and the incompetent dentist pulling the tooth from a terrified priest in agony. These are just a few of the many comic tales you will witness in this classic, farcical night!
