Many of you had the chance to see the play, "The Good Doctor". Seeing a live play at your school, performed by your classmates, is a real privilege. This is a celebrated play, by a great comic playwright named Neil Simon. He based the script on short stories of Anton Chekhov.
If you saw the play, which story did you like the best? Explain why.
Comment on how the script was constructed, with the Chekhov character narrating some of the stories. Was that an interesting framework? Explain.
Which performance was the best? Explain why you think so. (You should use both the actor's name and the character's name, although some of the characters are just called "man" or "woman". If you aren't sure who played what, you can look in a program.)
Did any of the other aspects of the production stand out for you? Explain. (This could be music, costumes, setting, lighting, staging, etc.)
Make a guess. Why did Ms. Kosar think this play was a good choice? Do you think it was?
If you did not see the play, you still can. There is one last performance tonight at 7 p.m. If, for some reason, you absolutely cannot go to see it, talk to someone who was in it. Find out answers to the above questions.
