WINCHESTER’S Chesil Theatre will be performing Barefoot in the Park this month.

This sparkling romantic comedy, written by Neil Simon and directed by Alec Walters, centres around newlyweds Corrie and Paul Bratter.

As they move into their freezing apartment in New York, free-spirited Corrie is effervescent at the thought of home-making. Paul however, is a strait-laced lawyer more interested in his burgeoning career. When their bohemian new neighbour drops in, Corrie tries to pair him off with her lonely mother, which ironically exposes cracks in the Bratters’ own marriage.

Performance dates: January 24-31 (not Sunday) at 7.45pm and January 31 at 2.30pm.
