The Goat or Who Is Sylvia?
Presenter: The REP - Pittsburgh Playhouse
Awash in professional success and domestic contentment, a 50-year-old New York architect finds he can no longer keep his deepest secret to himself. And his defiance of one of society’s most strict taboos challenges the bonds and boundaries of friendship and family, love and lust, temperament and tolerance. Edward Albee's play is directed by Rodger Henderson.
