Sylvia

‘Sylvia’ by A. R. Gurney

Directed by Susan Rundle

A modern romantic comedy about a marriage and a dog. Greg’s career as a financial trader is winding down, while Kate’s career, as a public-school English teacher, is beginning to offer more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he finds in the park. A street-smart mixture of Lab and Poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog.
