‘Barefoot in the Park’ Audio Performance


A sweet revival…

All things considered, Neil Simon is a marvelous playwright with an extraordinary resume.  Namely, a popular favorite, Barefoot in the Park, first appeared on Broadway in 1963 starring Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley.  Later in the decade on May 25, 1967, it debuted in theaters starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. Even though some of us were too young or not yet born, it is a classic romantic comedy and decades later, people continue to enjoy the display of humor in the newlyweds’ relationship.

Today, Barefoot in the Park is available on audio, thanks to L.A. Theatre Works, for the PBS recording of the play starring Laura Linney and Eric Stoltz. Their performance is full of energy and drama and the best part is you can listen anytime and anywhere you see fit. It is just under two hours of pure nostalgic entertainment.


To set the scene, Paul is a rookie lawyer and Corie is his strong-willed eager bride determined to see the best in everything.  On return from their honeymoon, Corie and Paul are moving into their first New York City apartment. Unfortunately, the less than perfect new home is high above the streets of the city, but without an elevator and is not exactly a typical high-rise. Consequently, overwhelmed, the couple’s coping skills provide the audience with a hilarious comedy.

Audio Book Review ‘The Forgotten Room’ by Lincoln Child

Image
Imagine: tasting color, seeing sound, and hearing food; euphoria or a window into Hell? The Forgotten Room is modern day science fiction mingling with the paranormal. This is my first Lincoln Child book; my initial reaction is wow-what a unique writer. A lover of fine flowing literature done well, I’m in awe of his no-nonsense style of writing, so tightly suffused with an intellectual peculiarity that drives the premise like a well-tuned machine, simply said: the author’s skill is effectively eccentric, much like the cast of science minded characters in the novel.

Chocolate Brownies: No Gluten, No Dairy, No Egg, No Oil-Only 2 Ingredients

Image
We love brownies! Originating in Chicago at the Palmer House Hotel in 1893, the delicious marriage of the cake and the cookie is undoubtedly an all-time favorite. Unfortunately, for health and ingredient conscious individuals, replacements often lack the flavor we crave. So, when we say, only two ingredients without the usual allergens, the first concern is taste. Fear not as this gooey chocolaty treat is not lacking any taste; in fact, it tastes better than most.
