The GOAT (or) Who is Sylvia? by Edward Albee
Artists' Collective Theatre is proud to present from the writer of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" a play that goes by 2 names: "The GOAT" or "Who is Sylvia" directed by Amanda Liz Cutting.
From WikipediA:
"The tale of a married, middle-aged architect, Martin, his wife Stevie, and their son Billy, whose lives crumble when Martin falls in love with a goat, the play focuses on the limits of an ostensibly liberal society. Through showing this family in crisis, Albee challenges audience members to question their own morality in the face of other social taboos including infidelity, pedophilia, incest and, of course, bestiality.
The play also features many language games and grammatical arguments in the middle of catastrophes and existential disputes between the characters. The name of the play refers to the song "Who is Sylvia" from Shakespeare's play The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Proteus sings this song, hoping to woo Silvia. Franz Schubert's setting of the song contributed to its popularity outside Shakespeare's play."
