NYLON

by Sofia Alvarez

(029)

NYLON is our first publication of a full-length play script. The play was first produced off-Broadway by BTP at Theaterlab in March of 2019. One year later and we are thrilled to be putting it into print!

NYLON is a play about relationships, the past, secrets, and hard truths. It is a modern take, in spirit anyway, on Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. The dialogue is immediate, nuanced, and just funny enough. Take a dive.

From the screenwriter behind the recent smash-hit Netlfix films “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” and “To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You.”

An article about Alvarez’s experience balancing being screenwriter and playwright, published in The Baltimore Sun.

Another article, this time about the opening of Nylon, published at Playbill.

Here is a review published in the Washington Square Post.

“Sofia’s Alvarez’s NYLON is so simmeringly alive in its opening scene that we invest in these characters immediately.”

-The New York Times

Here is the first page of that first scene.

ACT I

1.1 New York

Anna and Matthew sit in a coffee shop in the East Village.

ANNA

It’s nice to see you.

MATTHEW

Yeah. You too.

ANNA

Strange. How long.

MATTHEW

MmHm.

ANNA

That its happening now.

MATTHEW

Well, yeah. You sent me all those e-mails.

ANNA

Because you didn’t respond to me at first.

MATTHEW

I thought maybe if I ignored you.

ANNA

Are you being serious?

MATTHEW

No, I’m kidding.

ANNA

But it did take you a few weeks to respond...

MATTHEW

I was just surprised, that’s all.

ANNA

Yeah.

Small beat.
