Damian Lewis stars in Edward Albee’s The Goat, Or Who is Sylvia?
The Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor will play the central character Martin in Albee’s black comedy about a family in crisis.
Martin is at the pinnacle of life: he has a loving wife and son, a hugely successful career as an architect, and the commission of a lifetime, but when he embarks upon an improbable and impossible love affair from which there is no return, familial relationships begin to collapse.
