The Goat, Or Who Is Sylvia?
While not a play that on the surface sounds like a great idea for a night on the town, Edward Albee’s The Goat Or, Who Is Sylvia? is a modern-day tragedy that deserves the same kind of audience respect and attraction we give a play equally difficult at times to watch such as Shakespeare’s Macbeth or Albee’s own Who’s Afraid of Virgina Wolfe? Shotgun Players ups the ante to a must-see with a production that excels in every respect possible.
The Monsters
As both playwright and co-star of The Monsters, Ngozi Anyanwu has provided the audiences of Berkeley Repertory Theatre with a story celebrating sibling love that sizzles and soars — a Rep production that will leave those audiences with joy-filled hearts and a new appreciation for what beautiful really means.
