The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?
A celebrated architect, newly honoured and happily married, confesses to his best friend and then to his wife that he is in love with a goat. The household's civilised vocabulary collapses as each tries to name what has happened. Subtitled "Notes toward a definition of tragedy," it was Albee's late-career return to the Broadway stage.
