Goat Or, Who Is Sylvia Notes Toward A Definition Of Tragedy

Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Edward Albee's most proactive, daring, and controversial play since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The Goat won every major award for best new play of 2002. 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 is 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 American dramatists" (Ben Brantley, The New York Times).Albee, Edward is the author of 'Goat Or, Who Is Sylvia Notes Toward A Definition Of Tragedy', published 2004 under ISBN 9781585676477 and ISBN 1585676470.
