He’s Having an Affair Reviewed by Mary Alderson Edward Albee is known for his strange yet often humorous plays. Devoted Albee fans love his bizarre story lines. But who would want to see a play about an otherwise sane and successful man, happily married with a son, who suddenly falls in love with a goat? Stevie (Lucy Peacock) and Martin (Rick Roberts) are, by all appearances, a happily married couple. They have a beautiful home, filled with expensive-looking objets d’art. Martin is an architect about to win a prestigious award.  Stevie and Martin joke together comfortably, teasing each other and showing affection. Then Martin is interviewed about his work by his long-time friend Ross (Matthew Kabwe). But Martin can’t concentrate and his lack of attention bothers Ross. Finally, Martin reveals to Ross that he is preoccupied because he has fallen in love with a goat. He names the goat Sylvia and is smitten by her warm eyes. Ross feels compelled to write a letter to Stevie, telling her of Martin’s strange obsession. Presumably, he is worried about his friend’s mental health.  Stevie can’t understand it and confronts Martin. Their discussion deteriorates into a huge shouting match. Those objets d’art? Pottery, crystal glass, rock carvings and more are sent crashing to the floor by a very disgusted and angry Stevie. A small metal easel is poked through an oil painting. Their teenage son, Billy, (Anthony Palermo) comes into the mess and demands to know what is going on. Can there be any resolution? Can this weird story be an enjoyable play? I expected not to like it. But I found it both entertaining and thought provoking.  In the theatre program Director Dean Gabourie tells us that Albee said he wrote The Goat or, Who is Sylvia? to “test a few boundaries”. ...
