The Editors made a guest appearance at The Lyric Stage Company's performance of Edward Albee's THE GOAT or WHO IS SYLVIA? We were invited to lead the talk back after the show, along with the cast. Stevie, the wife in the play, has a tremendous story to tell about her marriage that made us wish she was a contributor to our essay collection. Here's some
lines that Albee gives Stevie. She is speaking to her husband, Martin.

Something can happen that's outside the rules, that doesn't relate to The Way The Game Is Played. Death before you're ready to even think about it--that's part of the game. A stroke that leaves you sitting lookng at an eggplant the week before had been your husband--that's another. Emotional disengagement, gradual, so gradual you don't know it's happening, or sudden--but not very often, but occasionally--that's another. You've read about spouses---God! I hate that word!--spouses who all of a sudden start wearing dresses--yours, or their own collection--wives gone dyke. .. but if there's one thing you don't put on our plate, no matter how exotic your tasts may be is. . . bestiality.
