The Goat or Who is Sylvia?

Martin is a middle-aged man at the pinnacle of his career. He has loving relationships with his brilliant wife, Stevie, and his teenage son, Billy. But suddenly Martin makes a shocking confession that changes everything. As he struggles to explain himself to his family, they all sink deeper into the awful realisation that something truly terrible has happened to their beautiful world – something so far outside of ‘normal’ that it just might destroy them.

The Goat is a provocative and ground-breaking parable of love and all its absurd, bewildering, consuming and shattering peculiarities, proving that Albee still asks questions that no other major American dramatist dares to ask. The playwright draws a powerful parable that is clear, incisive, and remarkable in its range of subtle variations. With customary brilliance, Albee elicits deep, genuine belly laughs from his audience simultaneously with a profound poignancy that catches in the throat even as the laughing continues.
