“The Goat, Or Who Is Sylvia” at Circle Players

This often shocking and always thought-provoking play is a wickedly funny examination of the meaning of love. It presents a family embroiled in a predicament that slowly and inexorably leads to tragedy, and, although we witness an excruciating -- and excruciatingly funny -- dilemma, we stay riveted to it because the hand of fate shows itself to be the master of our lives, a master from whom we cannot disengage. 2002 Tony Award for Best Play and Pulitzer Prize nominee!.
