Barefoot in the Park is a romantic comedy stage play by Neil Simon. The play premiered on Broadway in 1963, and starred Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley. It was Neil Simon’s longest-running hit, and the tenth-longest running non-musical play in Broadway history. The play was nominated for four 1964 Tony Awards. In 1967, it was made into a film, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.
The story revolves around the newlywed couple, Corie and Paul Bratter. For their first home, they live in an apartment on the top floor of a brownstone in New York City. Corie is optimistic about their future together, while Paul, the more anxious and grounded half of the couple, worries about the various flaws in the apartment, such as a hole in the skylight, their leaky closet, and the lack of a bathtub. Shortly after moving in, Corie attempts to set her mother up with their eccentric neighbor Mr. Velasco. During the course of four days, the couple learns to live together while facing the usual daily ups-and-downs.
