LONDON, June 8 (UPI) -- Britain's Queen Elizabeth II raised an eyebrow after being told of a new hit London play about a man and his passionate affair with a goat.

The Sun reported Tuesday that the queen was having lunch to celebrate the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art when she asked actor Jonathan Pryce about his latest play.

"It's a play about love, betrayal, passion, compassion -- and bestiality," he said, describing the plot of "The Goat, Or Who Is Sylvia?"

The Queen reportedly raised an eyebrow and said: "You saved that until last."
