The Goat, or Who is Sylvia by Edward Albee | Characters, Summary, Analysis
The Goat, or Who is Sylvia is a three-act, full-length play by Edward Albee that he wrote in 2000 and it was first performed in 2002. The play won many awards and was one of the finalists for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is a domestic tragicomedy play that explores and questions the limits of tolerance in a modern liberal society. The drama discusses a few transgressions considered taboo in society and explores how marriage and a family can survive when confronted with a once-unthinkable transgression that “shatters the glass” of their lives. The play raises many issues including, what should be accepted and what should be rejected as being within the confines of normalcy. Another issue that is raised in the play is about the value of truth, is Truth fundamentally an Objective good? Or, can a lie, hiding the truth, or keeping it a secret can be a better option?
