In September 2026, we presented The Good Doctor, a selection of stories by Anton Chekhov, adapted by Neil Simon and directed by Richard Culham.

In this sparkling collection of short plays, Neil Simon reimagines the stories of Anton Chekhov with wit, warmth and a generous dose of theatrical mischief. A narrator guides us through a gallery of eccentric characters: flirtatious ladies, anxious husbands, overworked governesses, duelling egos and tender romantics — all navigating love, pride and the glorious complications of being human.

By turns comic, poignant and sharply observed, The Good Doctor reminds us that while fashions change, people do not. Their hopes, vanities and vulnerabilities are as familiar today as they were in 19th-century Russia.

This intimate and atmospheric production brought Chekhov's world to life with humour, heart and a touch of old-world theatrical magic.
