Treating sin in a straightforward manner is not popular in the modern theater. But Alfred does not shy away from the conventionally unpopular. His play not only deals openly with sin and guilt, but it deals with them in a frankly religious context. Hogan's Goat is a Catholic play in subject and outlook.
