This author combined ten Chekhovian sketches, including "The Sneeze" and "The Audition," into the play The Good Doctor. Ken Gorman, Lenny Ganz and others try to figure out why their host Charley shot himself in the ear in his farce Rumors, while another play sees Yvonne Fouchet try to reunite three marriages over a mysterious dinner party. Another work chronicles the mental breakdown of Mel Edison in his East Side apartment, and in another, the attic-squatting neighbor Velasco helps Corie Bratter convince her husband Paul to be more spontaneous. In addition to The (*) Prisoner of Second Avenue and Barefoot in the Park, he depicted Ben Silverman reuniting the vaudeville team of Willie Clark and Al Lewis, and also a play in which Blanche's abandonment of her sportswriter husband, as well as Frances' of a copywriter, cause two poker buddies to move in together.  For 10 points, name this author of The Sunshine Boys and The Odd Couple.
