Director's Note
In our production of The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? the question of “Who is Sylvia?” becomes the question of “Who are we?” What makes us humans human? Why is morality necessary for us and how do we create moral lines? What are the limits to our empathy for others when these lines are crossed? Is exposing the truth always a fundamentally, objective good? Albee does not give us any answers but he certainly leaves us with many valuable questions. Questions that become even more valuable when put in a historical context. For most of humanity’s history, homosexuality and bestiality have existed on the same moral plane. The hypocrisy of Martin’s homophobia allows us to examine the absurdity of this history. In the spirit of greek tragedy, The Goat presents unimaginable circumstances and forces one to imagine them, to simply think newly and freshly about what we have buried deep as intolerable. I urge you all to let the laughter in so that the more serious issues can flow in as well.
