Paul and Corrie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. After a six-day honeymoon, they are settling into their top-floor walkup apartment in a New York brownstone, with a leaky skylight and a tiny bathroom with no tub — and an eccentric Hungarian neighbour named Victor Velasco who has to get to his attic apartment through their window because the landlord has locked him out for not paying the rent.
Things only get more complicated when Paul and Corrie get a surprise visit from Corrie's opinionated, bossy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with her and Velasco.
Meanwhile Corrie and Paul have some work to do on their own relationship. He's a buttoned-down young lawyer, she's more of a free spirit and wants Paul to lighten up. Gradually, they're learning to live together.
Barefoot in the Park opened at the Biltmore Theatre on Broadway in 1963 and ran for nearly four years, making it Neil Simon's longest-running play and the 10th-longest-running non-musical production in Broadway history. It has seen thousands of performances since, including a Broadway revival in 2006 and one in London in 2012. Domino Theatre has produced Barefoot twice before, in 1992 and 2003.
