"Can you think of anything worse one can do to anybody than take away their worship?" (93)

Okay, lets blame Albee's outrageous and overtly homosexual/incestual/ultratabooistic THE GOAT; or who is Sylvia? for my less than impression of something I can only imagine to be a gothic and dark work of art, on stage. Shaffer even does an almost apology (which is absolutely what Tony winning dramatists do, or should) about disparities between page and stage.

What exists there, though, is taught, and the stagework one imagines has the actual gallops of such noble beasts. Personifying these mighty thunder kings is in actuality a poem made elongated, stretched, acted out, and hence filled with intuitive horrors and primal discoveries. Not recommended for, well (haha) ... animal activists!
