synopsis:

Barefoot in the Park is one of Neil Simon’s most beloved comedies. The plot centers on newlyweds, Paul and Corie Bratter, who seem to be complete opposites. Paul is a hard-working, very practical, young attorney while Corie is a naïve free spirit. After six days of marriage, they move into their fifth floor walk-up apartment and are immediately visited by Corie’s widowed, lonely mother. When Corie decides to play matchmaker with her mother and her very unusual and eccentric neighbor, everything goes wrong!
