While “The Goat: or Who is Sylvia” is easily one of Albees most accessible plays, it is still a thrilling ride from start to finish. And while I’m sure there is a deeper metaphor within the play (about how some people view Martin’s sexual preferences the same way people view Billy’s, or how Sylvia represents the innocent member of a cheating scandal) this is a story where I try not to delve deeper and instead just ride the wave of chaos and absurd antics.
