Damian Lewis is to star in a West End production of Edward Albee’s The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
The Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor will play the central character Martin in Albee’s black comedy about a family in crisis.
Best known for his roles on screen in Homeland and Wolf Hall and most recently Billions, Lewis was last seen on the London stage in a production of David Mamet’s American Buffalo alongside John Goodman and Tom Sturridge.
A darkly comic and disturbing view on the collapse of familial relationships, Edward Albee’s The Goat has all of Albee’s characteristically witty tones as well as being a deeply tragic portrayal of a couple and their teenage son in crisis when the father embarks on an improbable and impossible love affair from which there is no return.
