Synopsis

An estranged couple, Anna and Matthew, meet for the first time in four years.

Their joint history is dredged to the surface in a way that threatens their futures as well as those of everyone around them.

This psychological drama explores the options available to women and the ways in which we become our own worst enemies when we stray from the acceptable paths available to us.

Press Reviews

"A small and intimate new play that manages to be simultaneously simple and yet intricately plotted... Alvarez’s succinct script is wonderfully complex."
— Theatre Is Easy

"The oscillating characters and story weave themselves into a charged and emotionally complex work."
— Washington Square News

"Sofia Alvarez's Nylon — evidently a response, at least in part, to Ibsen's A Doll's House — is so simmeringly alive in its opening scene that we invest in these characters immediately."
— The New York Times
