SYLVIA

8 - 12 July 2025
Players Theatre, Hurstpierpoint
7.30pm (bar opens 30mins prior)

The subject is "Sylvia", a dog, the couple who adopts her, and the resultant comedy.

Greg is a man of middle age, a restless empty-nester, tired of his job in finance, looking for meaning in his life. Sylvia is an exuberant and beautiful lab/poodle mix, astray in Central Park, looking for a new home.

It is love at first sight for Greg, but his wife Kate is less than thrilled by the clever and coquettish canine who jumps, slobbers, sits on her couch -- and takes Greg's attention away from his marriage.
