A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

On his 50th birthday, Martin, a world-famous architect prepares for a recorded interview by an old friend in the Tv business; but in the course of the conversation a secret emerges that threatens to turn celebration to tragedy. The Goat is hugely enjoyable parable that plumbs the deepest questions of social constraints on the individual expression of love. "My plays are an examination of the American Scene, an attack on the substitution of artificial for real values in our society, a condemnation of complacency, cruelty and emasculation and vacuity, a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy keen" - Edward Albee

Winner of the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play

Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 2002
