SYLVIA is the modern romantic comedy about a marriage and a dog. It tells the story of the husband Greg, who brings home an abandoned dog, Sylvia, he's found in the park. The wife, Kate, quickly finds that she has been relegated to the back seat as Sylvia becomes the new love of Greg’s life. Gurney’s play examines the complicated relationships between husbands and wives, and the pets that love them. Man’s best friend is not always a wife’s best friend…and so the battle begins.
Seeking:
Kate:
Mid-40s to mid-50s. A leading lady with warmth and comic sensibility. A warm, loving wife who doesn’t quite know how this gap has opened up between her and her husband—which was there before he brought a new dog home. It’s not that she doesn’t like dogs, she just has other priorities at this point in her life. Upper middle class, recently relocated to Manhattan from the suburbs with plans to positively impact inner city kids with Shakespeare. Singing ability helpful.
Greg:
Mid-40s to mid-50s. A leading man with warmth and comic sensibility, earnest, and good intentioned. He has fallen head-over-heels in love with his new dog and doesn’t quite realize the strain it is placing on his marriage. Greg himself has a puppy-dog innocence to him and a feeling of being slightly lost in middle age. Upper middle class, financial services employee who feels his job doesn’t have meaning anymore. Singing ability helpful.
