The Goat by Edward Albee
The play centers on a successful architect who upends his life and shocks his family and friends when he confesses to an affair that defies societal norms and expectations. As the story unfolds, the architect's revelation challenges the audience's understanding of love, fidelity, and the limits of tolerance, forcing characters and viewers alike to confront the boundaries of their own morality and the complex nature of personal relationships. The narrative delves into themes of passion, betrayal, and the often-blurry line between the acceptable and the taboo.
