Goat, the; or Who is Sylvia? (2002), a play by Edward Albee. [ John Golden Theatre, 309 perf.; Tony, NYDCC Awards.] When architect Martin (Bill Pullman) announces to his friend Ross (Stephen Rowe) that he is in love with a goat, Ross tells Martin's wife, Stevie (Mercedes Ruehl), and repercussions set in that threaten his marriage and career. But Albee's play is not about bestiality as much as the dark corners in any relationship, and the script was surprisingly comic as well as moving. Some enthusiastic notices encouraged the Off‐Broadway production to transfer to the John Golden, where it ran nearly a year, though still not breaking even.
