Barefoot in the Park
Corrie and Paul are newlyweds who have just moved into their cold eyrie of an apartment. Corrie is starry-eyed, Paul less so after staggering up five flights. Their house seems to be populated by unusual people, the most bohemian being Victor whom Corrie finds entertaining. Conic tries matchmaking between Victor and her lonely mother but after a disastrous dinner party she learns that walking barefoot in the park may not necessarily denote joie de vivre - in February it is simply silly!
Biloxi Blues
În timpul celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial, un tânăr din Brooklyn, Eurgene Morris Jerome, abia ieşit din adolescenţă, este recrutat de Armata SUA şi trimis la baza militară din Biloxi, Mississippi, să se antreneze pentru un conflict armat. Eugene se confruntă cu psihologia cazonă și dă piept cu soldaţi recrutaţi din toate categoriile sociale – întruchipări ale meschinăriei, stupidităţii şi grobianismului sau, deopotrivă, ale vulnerabilităţii şi ale neputinţei, îşi pierde virginitatea şi descoperă laturi neomeneşti ale omului.

Războiul din Europa se aproprie, familia continuă bătălia pentru bani, supravieţuire şi împlinirea idealurilor: mătuşa nu gasește bărbatul potrivit, tatăl e bolnav, incapabil să muncească, fratele vrea să vadă lumea iar mama este izolată în bucătărie. Eugene nu îşi doreşte decât să aibă un prieten şi, poate, să ştie mai multe despre fetele dezbrăcate.

They arrive one at a time, encountering each other in pairs and trios, until at last they start to detect the pattern that explains why they're there. It turns out that they are all divorced couples. They've been brought together to look backward--and forward--at their damaged relationships. Will--or perhaps more to the point, can--any or all of them reconcile?nytheatre.com

Andy and Norman are two earnest young men using their apartment as a publishing office for a "protest" magazine in San Francisco. Sophie, an Olympic swimmer and all-American girl, moves into another apartment on the same floor. Sophie makes her first appearance paying a good-neighbor visit to the combination home and office of the two publishers. Her friendliness and charm leave Norman hopelessly smitten. Thereafter love, with him, is a determined madness, with the humor of it heightened by her frantic rejection of him. Meanwhile, his partner is fielding telephone calls from the irate printer who wants to collect the money due him, and distracting the landlady from thoughts of back rent with motorcycle rides and surfing expeditions. And while she is convinced that they are editing a dangerously subversive magazine, our heroine soon finds that her real source of annoyance is that the wrong man is pressing his attentions on her. Happily this situation is reversed in time, as love and politics blend delightfully
