The Players Club of Swarthmore to Present THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA
The Players Club of Swarthmore presents The Goat, or Who is Sylvia by Edward Albee, directed on Second Stage by Thomas-Robert Irvin of Swarthmore. The cast includes Nancy Bennett of Chestnut Hill, Leigh Jacobs of Wynnewood, David Owen Cashell of Springfield, and John Taylor of Lambertville, NJ.
Edward Albee excels at turning a steady gaze on the furiously unsteady behavior of his characters. The Goat, or Who is Sylvia stars a husband and wife who love each other deeply and communicate easily in the super-articulate fashion playgoers will recognize from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf; but unlike George and Martha in that play, these two have never drawn blood with their verbal duelling...until now. The play is a gripping and, along the way, highly amusing investigation of the limits of normal behavior and the limits of marital tolerance.
The Goat opens on Friday, November 14 and plays Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th, Thursday through Saturday November 20th through 22nd. Curtain time is 7:30 on Thursday, 8:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, 2:00 on Sunday. Tickets are available at the door. There will be an opening night reception at 7:30 on Friday, November 14; Meet the Artists after the performance on Sunday, November 16; Friday November 21 is dessert night.
Audience advisory: the play contains strong language and adult subject matter. Second Stage shows are not handicapped-accessible.
