The Goat- About the Play

THE GOAT
(or, Who Is Sylvia?)

Theatre On Consignment will continue its 2005-2006 season with “The Goat (or, Who Is Sylvia?)”, the Tony award-winning drama by American master Edward Albee (author of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”). The play will run April 20, 21, and 22 at 8pm and April 22 and 23 at 2pm.

The play, which also won the New York Drama Critics Circle, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards, concerns Martin (Mark Reno), a successful architect on the brink of his 50th birthday. He's happily married to his wife Stevie (Renee Purtee) and has a turbulent but loving relationship with his rebellious gay son Billy (Matt Hanne). Hiding under the comforts of domestic bliss, however, lurks a dark secret Martin fears will tear his family and friends away from him and destroy his career: Martin is having an affair—an affair so shocking and forbidden that it puts his entire life in jeopardy. Robert Thomas co-stars. By turns shocking, funny, tragic, and heartbreaking, The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? is a true classic by a living legend.

Phil Speary is director and sound designer, with lighting design by Tim Naden, set design by Jack Walker, and costume and prop design by Jane Tanner. Jason Bailey produces.
