Edward Albee’s The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?
Edward Albee’s The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? (2001) centers
on Martin, who leads an ostensibly ideal life with his loving wife
and gay teenage son, until he confides to his best friend that is
he also in love with a goat. Albee describes the play this way: “Every
civilization sets quite arbitrary limits to its tolerances. The play
is about a family that is deeply rocked by an unimaginable event and
how they solve that problem. It is my hope that people will think
afresh about whether or not all the values they hold are valid.”
  January 3–January
20, 2008 at the Cabaret Theatre
This show is for mature audiences.
