Edward Albee’s shocking dark comedy The Goat or, Who Is Sylvia? comes to People’s Theatre next week

Next week at the People’s Theatre in Heaton: a family unravels in Edward Albee’s explosive and darkly comic masterpiece, THE GOAT OR, WHO IS SYLVIA?

Celebrated architect Martin lives a seemingly perfect life with his wife and their teenage son.

But when he reveals a secret that defies belief, they are plunged into chaos, heartbreak, and a fierce confrontation that tests the limits of love and morality.

Winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play, THE GOAT OR, WHO IS SYLVIA? is one of Albee’s most provocative plays.

With his trademark razor-sharp wit and devastating emotional honesty, the writer of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? challenges audiences to question tolerance, desire, and the fragile boundaries of human relationships.

Black comedy and heartbreaking tragedy collide in this modern classic that remains as daring and shocking as ever.

Edward Albee’s THE GOAT OR, WHO IS SYLVIA? plays at People’s Theatre Monday 25 – Saturday 30 May 2026. Tickets are available here.
