Barefoot in the Park

Theatre Southwest

Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He's a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she's a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent find - too expensive, with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. After a six-day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie's loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco, where everything goes wrong. Paul just doesn't understand Corie, as she sees it. He's too staid, too boring - and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous. Running "barefoot in the park" would be a start. Enjoy this timeless Neil Simon play on the stage of Houston's Theatre Southwest.
