“Is there anything ‘we people’ don’t get off on? Is there anything anyone doesn’t get off on, whether we admit it or not—whether we know it or not?” -Martin
The Little Theater was packed on Saturday night for the Oberlin Theater Department’s first production of the year, Edward Albee’s The Goat, or Who is Sylvia. The show, which ran from Thursday to Sunday, was directed by College junior Ben Ferber. A defiant expedition to the very edge of what society will tolerate and beyond, it was most effective in showing the places where that border blurs and breaks down. The play attacks not societal rules themselves, but the arbitrariness of how we create and apply them.
