Text on the right says "The Goat or, Who is Sylvia?" There are three quotes below. They say "Critic's Pick. Thrilling. The New York Times", "Intensely cathartic. Chicago Tribune" and "Jaw-dropping. Intermission". On the left, Martin stands with an arm extended behind him while Stevie looks up at him angrily, with her hand in a fist preparing to throw a punch.

Stevie stands with her arms crossed and a stern expression on her face while holding a letter. Martin stands behind her, and Billy stand behind Martin.

The living room is upturned. The set is lit dimly, while the armchairs are lit in blue. In the middle, Martin stands disheveled with only his face illuminated, making him look eerie.

Stevie stands with her arms outstretched and face upturned. Behind her, Martin is seated in an armchair.

Ross, Martin and Billy are in the upturned living room. Ross stands on the left with a pleading expression on his face. In the middle, Martin stands with both his arms outstretched, as if he is balancing. On the right, Billy is seated in an armchair, looking annoyed.

“THE SENSE THAT EVERYTHING GOING RIGHT IS A SURE SIGN THAT EVERYTHING'S GOING WRONG.”

Celebrated architect Martin Gray is easing into dignified middle age when he shatters his reputation and family life by falling in love with a goat. What can he do—the heart has its reasons! Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, The Goat or, Who Is Sylvia? challenges our contemporary notions of tolerance with the dizzying wordplay and wit that crowned Edward Albee one of the great 20th-century playwrights.

“Thrilling” “Jaw-dropping wit and fury by Lucy Peacock” – Chicago Tribune

“Intensely cathartic” – Chicago Tribune

“Packs a punch” – Toronto Star
