"Hilarious," "Touching" and "Profound,"
This is A.R. Gurney's Notion Of a Very Different Menage a Trois
.

Set in Manhattan, Sylvia follows the travails of Greg and Kate, a middle-aged couple who have returned to the city after years of raising children in the suburbs. Greg has lost interest in his career while Kate is beginning a new one, when along comes Sylvia. Lovely and street-smart, she offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the uncertainties of middle age. However, to Kate, Sylvia is a rival for affection, a major bone of contention -- oh, and a dog, to boot!

Sylvia quite credibly represents the sudden midlife passion -- whether it be an affair, a pet or an obsessively pursued hobby -- that leaves the subject and his longtime mate baffled.
