I just a read a review of a new play entitled "Sylvia", and it seems worth watching. I don't watch very much live theater, so it has to be really interesting to get me to see it.

In Sylvia, a man named Greg, who is plagued with misery over his mid-life crisis, meets a dog named Sylvia while visiting a park. The dog has the ability to speak, in English, and express thoughts. Sylvia is played by a real human actress, young, beautiful and sexy, who acts the part of a real dog:

Oh, sure, often Sylvia behaves like an ordinary dog, jumping on forbidden furniture, rubbing her anal glands across the carpet and sniffing poop on the sidewalk ("I have to check my messages!").

He takes Sylvia home, and his wife immediately rejects it. Sylvia, being a dog, has a sense for picking up on the emotions and fears of Greg and his wife. And with the ability to talk, expresses them. And since Sylvia is a dog, she loves and adores Greg, and Greg finds great companionship in her. You can just imagine this with Sylvia being a human actress.

Anyways, it's playing way out in Tucson, Arizona. Maybe you'll find it playing elsewhere.
