What People are Saying About This

Michael Feingold

Most likely to be talked about seriously—angrily, ferociously—for years to come.

Clive Barnes

Unquestionably one of the wittiest and funniest plays Albee has ever written...enthralling.

Margo Jefferson

Leaves you with plenty to feel and think about...a tragedy with built-in laughs and elements of fantasy...a brave, questioning play.

Ben Brantley

The Goat is about a profoundly unsettling subject, which for the record is not bestiality but the irrational, confounding, and even convention-thwarting nature of love. The form this force takes in The Goat is beyond a joke...Powerful...extraordinary...Four decades after Virginia Woolf sent shockwaves through the mainstream theatre, Mr. Albee still asks questions that no other major American dramatist dares to ask.
