Synopsis

In a small town in Syria, soldiers are celebrated as heroes and grieving families are nourished on propaganda. As coffins pile up, a local party leader decides on a radical compensation scheme: a goat for each son martyred. Developed as part of the Royal Court International Department's long-term project with writers from Syria and Lebanon, Goats is a major new work by Syrian playwright and documentary film-maker Liwaa Yazj, translated by Katharine Halls. The play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London in 2017.

Disturbing, bitterly funny and caustically angry... a painful and original piece about the terrible price of conflict and oppression. --Financial Times
