University Relations Mark Pomerleau Dir., Information Services DAYTON, OHIO 45469 university of dayton (513) 229-3241/3242 Neil Simon's play UD PATlON PLAYERS PRESENT "THE GOOD DOCTOR" DAYTON, Ohio, June 20, 1977 -- "If I may say so myself, I am the greatest seducer of other men's wives that I've ever met ... I say this not boastfully, but as a matter of record." So says Peter Semyonych, the sly dandy of "The Seduction," one of t he timeless stories of Anton Chekhov adapted by playwright Neil Simon in the collection of vanity, absurdity and laughter which is "The Good Doctor. " This play, one of the Ten Best of 1973-4, weaves some of Chekhov's most famous characterizations of human foibles into a living tapestry of mirth. "The Good Doctor" will be presented by the UD theatre di vis ion's Patio Players at 8:30 p.m. June 22 through June 25. All performances will take place on the KU rooftop terrace. The play is directed by Fr. Robert Bouffier. Tickets may be obtained at the Box Office in KU from noon "-.ntil five for $2, or $3 for season tickets to two shows. This summer's other presentation will be "Alice in Wonderland," July 27-30, created by the "Manhatten Project," and described as being "fit for children, but in NO WAY a children's show." Anton Chekhov, a friend of Tolstoy and Gorky, is considered a revolutionary force in the development of drama by rejecting the clearly defined actions and character confrontations of conventional theatre and focusing instead on the internc.l fears and desires of his characters. His short stories are similarly works of quiet revelation. A man who wrote to support himself through medical school, Chekhov considered medicine to be his wife and literature to be his mistress . He is himself the good doctor whose rib-poking diagnoses tend to tickle. Neil Simon began writing to support himself without the formality of college. A familiar name to theatre-goers"Simon has the distinction of being the only writer to have four of his shows, "Barefoot in t he Park," "The Odd Couple," "Sweet Charity," and "Star-Spangled Girl" running simultaneously on Broadway. Followed by "Plaza Suite," "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers," "Promises, Promiscs,ll Simon came up with "The Gingerbread Lady," "The Sunshine Boys," and "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" before adapting the Chekhov stories into his eleventh straight success eigth play to be selected among the Ten Best Plays, "The Good Doctor." -more- liThe Good Doctor," con't, page 2 His comic skills bring to life some memorable characters who transcend the limits of their own time to become archetypes of humanity. Peter Semyonych, the seducer, works to conquer a wedded woman only to realize that she has been in control from the first. A man offers to drown himself for three rubles. A mild-mannered servant accidentally sneezes on his employer's head. A harpy besieges a gouty bank president for money; even though he has no responsibility for her, he gives his help to be ride of her. A father takes his son to be initiated into the mysteries of sex only to relent at the last moment, leaving the lad more perplexed than ever. These are the facets of a gem wrought by two master craftsmen whose tools are laughter and whose audiences cover the earth. Come and see "The Good Doctor." -30-.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 103 890 CS 201 950 AUTHOR McMahon, Helen TITLF A Rhetoric of American Popular Drama: TheComedies of Neil Simon. PUB DATM Mar 75 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at the National Convention of the Popular Culture Association (5th, St. Louis, March 20-22, 1975) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76HC-$1.58 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Analytical Criticism; *Characterization (Literature); Comedy; *Content Analysis; *Drama; *Literary Criticism; *Playwriting; Stereotypes IDENTIFIERS *Simon (Neil) ABSTRACT This paper discusses generally Neil Simon's plays; specifically examines "God's Favorite," "Plaza Suite," "Barefootin The Park," "Star Spangled Girl," "Come Blow Your Horn,"and "Last of the Red Hot Lovers"; and quotes reviews of the plays. Anexamination of the composition of the plays reveals that they all more orless share certin topics and plot structure, have a veneerof topicality, and are supported by gags, jokes, and absurd behavior.Variations on the themes of unobtainable vain fantasies are played out;the plays all end in the marriage bed, however devious anddeceitful the way has been. The vagaries of sex and guilt, inadequacy andmachismo are all circumscribed and made manageable. It isconcluded that Simon's plays are telhnically unsatisfying because he uses adisjointed tragicomic story line with an enormous number of realistic andcliche details and gags to distract from the disjointed story. His exploitation of the familiar prevents explorationof the serious or the comic. And, for the same reasons, the plays arethematically unsatisfying as well. (T3) U S DEPARTMEWTOF HEALTH.

  • Barefoot in the Park Explores the Timeless Struggles of Young Love
    Barefoot in the Park Explores the Timeless Struggles of Young Love Barefoot in the Park, which recently opened at Trinity Repertory Company, is a silly, lightweight confection that coasts on the appeal of the stars: real-life engaged couple Rebecca Gibel and Charlie Thurston. Gibel and Thurston play Corie and Paul, newlyweds who move into a fifth floor apartment in New York City. The place is threadbare: no furniture, no heat and no bathtub, with a leaky closet, and a hole in the skylight. And there is a running gag of characters nearly collapsing from exhaustion after climbing up five flights of stairs. Corie is a bit ditzy – she packs firewood in her suitcase and wears frilly lingerie. Paul is a straight-laced lawyer who won’t walk “barefoot in the park” to Corie’s disappointment. After a wild night at an Albanian restaurant on Staten Island, Paul and Corie decide to get a divorce. As in his other shows including The Odd Couple and Laughter on the 23rd Floor, playwright Neil Simon proves he is a master at crafting funny dialogue and wacky, larger-than-life personalities. Gibel and Thurston are both charming and hilarious in their roles, and Thurston proves he can do slapstick when an intoxicated Paul effortlessly slides from the living room coach onto the floor. There are some terrific supporting performances from Phyllis Kay as Corie’s sex-starved mother who lives in New Jersey, and Stephen Berenson channels Nathan Lane as the oily upstairs neighbor Victor Velasco. Uche Elueze has some fun as a telephone repair man who pays a visit to Corie and Paul.
