What a wonderful way to spend Valentine’s Day, with Neil Simon’s witty comedic love story about two newlyweds and the struggles that young couples often discover. Barefoot in the Park is just the story for lovers, young and new, alike. The audience is sure to fall in love with each character in this delightful little show.
After a six day honeymoon a spanking new lawyer, who ha just won his first case 6 cents in damages, and his young bride, who is as pretty and addled as they come, move into the new, high rent apartment that she has chosen for them. But the difficulty is, in order to enjoy the charming character of this apartment; one has to climb six wheezing flights. And the apartment is absolutely bare of furniture, the paint job came out all wrong, the skylight leaks snow, there isn't room for a double bed, and an outlandish gourmet who lives in a loft on the roof uses it and the window ledge as the only access to his padlocked premises. The situation is enough to break the heart and burst the lungs of any stylish young lawyer; and indeed it does, on the night he flatly refuses to join his wife in a barefoot walk through the snow in the park. She kicks him out, but he comes back not for reconciliation, but because he figures that since he's paying the rent she should be the one to go.
