| Description |
By A. R. Gurney Directed by Joy
Hawkins Dramatic literature is stuffed with memorable love
scenes, but none is as delicious and dizzy as the one that begins this smash
hit comedy. When middle-aged Gregg returns to his Upper West Side apartment
accompanied by Sylvia, a frisky blonde he has just picked up in the park, he
turns his life upside down. The trouble is the frisky blonde is an
irresistible dog who is about to chew a hole in his 22-year old marriage.
This show is a hilarious commentary on mid-life and the role pets play in
our lives. Reprising her tour de force performance in one of the Barn’s most
beloved tales is Marjorie Paul-Shook as the adorable pooch, along with
Richard Grusin and Mimi McDonald from the original cast. “Marjorie
Paul-Shook sparkles, shines, bounces and flounces and acts altogether
doggy.” -The Key West Citizen “Forget Lassie and Rin-Tin-Tin. I’ve never
seen a dog portrait in films or on the stage that quite matches the truth
and wit of Sylvia.” -The New York Times |
