Description: Winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play. "THE GOAT is about a profoundly unsettling subject, which for the record is not bestiality but the irrational, confounding, and convention-thwarting nature of love. Powerful [and] extraordinary…Mr. Albee still asks questions that no other major American dramatist dares to ask." -NY Times. "…as challenging-and…as outrageously funny-as theater gets." -NY Post. "…as fine a piece of theatrical art as any Edward Albee has created-and perhaps boldest of them all." -Houston Chronicle. "The edgiest, most fervently debated Broadway play of 2002…" -Seattle Times.
