To achieve that paradoxical effect of hilarity juxtaposed against a morbid backdrop, Albee utilized wordplay, black humor, and even slapstick to counter the mounting tension between the characters as the action progresses to its catastrophic climax. It was precisely this dichotomy that drew director Davida Fernandez-Barkan ’11 to “The Goat...
