In the play, Martin – a hugely successful architect who has just turned fifty- leads an ostensibly ideal life with his loving wife and gay teenage son. But when he confides to his best friend that he also in love with a goat (named Sylvia), he sets in motion events that will destroy his family and leave his life in tatters.
A shockingly entertaining Parable that plumbs the deepest questions of social constraints on the individual expression of love, The goat is also the consummate theatrical expression of the themes and ideas that have made Albee ‘’one of the few great living American dramatists.’’
