Albee's Perverse Sendup of a Standard Mid-Life Crisis Drama


Albee's "The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?" is a perverse sendup of a standard mid-life crisis drama that dares to suggest that even the most flawed and confused human beings deserve compassionate understanding. The play challenges the notion that the failure to proffer it is a species of bestiality far more abhorrent than the sexual kind.

Variety's Review


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, examine their own bigoted views, and reconsider their judgment of matters that may or may not be considered socially taboo.

Winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play


Winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play, "The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?" is a hugely enjoyable parable that plumbs the deepest questions of social constraints on the individual expression of love. This Modern Classics edition features a new introduction by Toby Zinman.
