The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?

A provocative tragicomedy by one of America's most significant playwrights about love that transcends all boundaries.

Hynek Čermák plays a man who has achieved everything in his life—even things no ordinary person would want. But who is truly ordinary? Does a person have the right to judge others simply because they deviate from his expectations and ideas? Where does one find the right to set limits on acceptability? And what happens when someone proves the existence of these limits beyond all doubt—someone the protagonist loves and thought he knew well?

Albee's "The Goat" is a profoundly provocative play—not only in its plot, but above all in how it develops an absurd and darkly comic situation to raise questions that persistently and vigorously unsettle our notions of love, tolerance, and family.
