Greg & Kate have moved to the city after twenty-two years of child rearing in the suburbs. Greg’s career as a financial trader is winding down, while Kate’s career, as public school English teacher is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park - or that found him - bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag. A street-smart Labra-doodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. Sylvia offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknown of middle age. To Kate, she becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog! This play is for anyone who has ever owned a dog, loved a dog, or wanted to wring a dog’s neck. Here is a delicious and dizzy romantic triangle between Greg, Kate and a mongrel called Sylvia, who, as Kate puts it, eats a serious hole in their 22 year marriage.
