David Schulz Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in Neil Simon’s Tony Award winning play. Paul is a straight-laced lawyer and Corie is 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 that can go wrong, does. Corie doesn’t think that Paul understands her. He’s too straight-laced, too boring, and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous. For instance, running “barefoot in the park” would be a start.
