ABOUT THE SHOW

What happens when a humble city worker sneezes on their boss during a play? What is the perfect lunch? Is three rubles a fair price to watch someone drown? How can you teach a governess to speak up for themselves? What’s the guaranteed way to seduce a married woman?


The Good Doctor begins with a narrator, a Chekhov-like writer, who leads the audience through nine scenes that go from ridiculous to absurd to charming and back again as the narrator reflects on the creative process, popping in and out of the stories.


Chekhov wrote the original stories in the 1890s, Simon adapted them for Broadway in the 1970s, and BarnArts brings them to the Upper Valley with a team of actor/directors this March, creating an intimate black-box experience: audience and actors will be together on Woodstock’s Town Hall Theatre stage.


“A great deal of warmth and humor in his retelling of these Chekhovian tales.” – Newhouse Newspapers

“There is much fun here. Mr. Simon’s comic fancy is admirable.” – The New York Times
