A bold new play by legendary playwright Edward Albee (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) concerns Martin, an architect, husband and father. In the same week that he’s received an international prize, been awarded a lucrative contract and celebrated his 50th birthday, he also has to confess to his wife and son that he's involved in a relationship which will probably destroy his marriage, his career and his professional life.

The Goat is a daring and controversial play that has entertained and stunned audiences and critics, alike. The winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play, it was also voted Best Play of 2002 by the New York Drama Critics Circle, received a New York Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, and was a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize in Drama.

Albee described The Goat this way: “Every civilization sets quite arbitrary limits to its tolerances. The play is about a family that is deeply rocked by an unimaginable event and they solve that problem. It is my hope that people will think afresh about whether or not all the values they hold are valid.”
