Product Description

Product Description
On his 50th birthday, Martin, a world-famous architect prepares for a recorded interview by an old friend in the TV business; but in the course of the conversation a secret emerges that threatens to turn celebration to tragedy. The Goat is hugely enjoyable parable that plumbs the deepest questions of social constraints on the individual expression of love."My plays are an examination of the American Scene, an attack on the substitution of artificial for real values in our society, a condemnation of complacency, cruelty and emasculation and vacuity, a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy keen" - Edward Albee Winner of the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 2002

5.0 out of 5 stars This man loves Sylvia, what's wrong with that?, 6 Sep 2003
From Edwards Albee, one of the most lauded contemporary playwrights who conceived such other fantastically unique works as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Zoo Story and The Play About the Baby, comes quite possibly his most intriguing piece to date. Martin by most standards is a success. Tops in his field; approached to architect the city of the future. Full family life with a functioning loving wife and son "Billy". But on his birthday, something comes out. He's in love with Sylvia. And oh... Sylvia is a goat. When his friend and family find this out their process transcends their situation and lays a groundwork on which taboos can not be shrugged off as sinfully obscene practices not to be talked about. Some, uncomfortable with the seriousness of the topic may call it a black comedy, and to be sure, there are plenty of witty comments made. But it is the heart of this play, the way this man comes to love this goat, and the tragic goat song composed masterfully by Albee that will leave you ready to accept anything, and very pleased to have met Martin and Sylvia.
