SYLVIA



written by Albert Ramsdell Gurney
translated by Pawit Mahasarinand
directed by Suwande Jackravorawot
produced by Dreambox Theatre
Bangkok Theatre, Thailand


Young and cute, Sylvia is street-smart, outspoken and sweeps married Greg off his feet!
So what’s new? Nothing, except the other woman in this affair just happens to be a dog!
A dog who is a shameless flirt, who not only talks back when spoken to, but quotes Homer and sings Cole Porter!!


Originally played by Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex And The City) in the very successful Off-Broadway hit, the sassy little mongrel immediately becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife.

Greg is a financier whose life has stalled. His wife, Kate, has a new career. Greg embarks on a delicious and dizzy love affair. So what's new? The other woman in this affair just happens to be a dog! A dog who is a shameless flirt, who not only talks back when spoken to, but quotes Homer and sings Cole Porter. Don't believe it? You'd better see it - even if you're a cat lover!

"Dramatic literature is stuffed with memorable love scenes, but none is as immediately delicious and dizzy as the one in A. R. Gurney's new comedy, Sylvia... a hysterical comedy for anyone who's ever owned a dog, loved a dog, or wanted to wring a dog's neck"
