"Albee's perversely funny sendup of a standard mid-life crisis
drama ... dares to suggest that even the most flawed and confused
human beings deserve compassionate understanding, and the failure
to proffer it is a species of bestiality far more abhorrent than
the sexual kind." Variety 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 judgement of matters that may or may not be considered
socially taboo. 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.
