Reviews

• “It is not only the calibre of the four performers which hit the spot but the spot itself. The intimacy of the Little Theatre really intensifies the action in a way rarely achieved in a proscenium theatre. This is a very classy production indeed.”
  - Barefoot Review
• “Actor Gary George gives a wonderful performance as Martin. Rachel Burfield gives an extraordinary performance that finds every moment of strength, humour, low and anguish… This is what good theatre should do, challenge as well as entertain, and the latest offering from the Theatre Guild delivers both.”
  - Broadway World
• “Although the entire cast all provide exceptional performances, Rachel Burfield steals the show. She has the ability to bring your chuckle to an immediate holt with her powerfully emotional presence that commands the stage almost the entire length of the show.”
  - Glam Adelaide
• “Rachel Burfield as Stevie commands the stage. Gary George is perfect as the tortured husband Martin. Benjamin Quirk’s acting debut as Billy is particularly commendable… a compelling performance.”
  - Stage Whispers
• “The Goat is one of Edward Albee’s best plays and this production, directed by Matt Houston, more than does it justice. Burfield’s performance is a standout.”
  - Adelaide Theatre Guide
• “Houston's direction was subtle when needed and brutally coarse when the time came. The set was simple and sparse, well-suited to the action and raw emotions on display.”
  - Encore, Theatre Association of South Australia
• "The acting by the four performers, Rachel Burfield, Gary George, Peter Davies and Benjamin Quirk, is outstanding as they provide convincing complex characters with varying interactions from aggressive clashes to surprising humorous exchanges. Houston takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride.”
  - Weekend Notes
• “In this, first time director Matt Houston has struck gold, and is to be heartily congratulated.
  Bravo, Theatre Guild, another cracker of a show.”
