The Goat or Who is Sylvia by Edward Albee
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. Edward Albee’s black comedy offers a fascinating look at the limits liberal society can be pushed to and asks the audience to question their beliefs, to examine their own bigoted views, and reconsider their judgment of matters that may or may not be considered socially taboo.
Please Note: This Production contains mature and potentially disturbing themes and language.
