content advisories
Shotgun Players is equally committed to presenting challenging work and taking care of our patrons.
Content advisories are a tool to help our patrons choose how they want to engage with each play. While we have tried to cover the most common sensitivities, the list below is not exhaustive. Some listed advisories refer to lines only briefly mentioned in the plays, whereas others are major themes of the work. These advisories will be updated regularly as plays are developed in rehearsal and production.
If you have any questions, we encourage you to call or email the box office, and we’re happy to provide more context. (510.841.6500, ext. 303 or [email protected])
THE GOAT
OR, WHO IS SYLVIA?
WRITTEN BY EDWARD ALBEE – DIRECTED BY KEVIN CLARKE
Martin has it all – a successful architecture career, loving wife, and son – but he also has a salacious secret. Martin is secretly in love… with a goat. Edward Albee’s Tony Award-winning tragedy edges the line of morality while exploring the limits of love and what is considered taboo in a modern society.
