Synopsis
On his 50th birthday, Martin, a world-famous architect, prepares for a recorded interview by an old friend in the TV business, but the interview uncovers a secret that threatens to turn celebration into tragedy in this Tony Award-winning drama.
The Goat or, Who is Sylvia is hugely enjoyable parable that plumbs the deepest questions of social constraints on the individual expression of love.
Press Reviews
"The Goat is about a profoundly unsettling subject, which for the record is not bestiality but the irrational, confounding, and convention-thwarting nature of love. Powerful [and] extraordinary…Mr. Albee still asks questions that no other major American dramatist dares to ask."
— The New York Times
"As fine a piece of theatrical art as any Edward Albee has created – and perhaps boldest of them all."
— Houston Chronicle
