About The Zoo Story: A Play by Edward Albee - Wesley Centre

The American Dream Meets the American Nightmare on a Park Bench in New York

If this is your first Albee play, you're in for a treat: Intense storytelling, wickedly funny dialogue, and a rug-out-from-under you' climax that will leave you breathless. Presented by The Classic Theatre Project of Yorkshire.

Edward Albee's 'The Zoo Story', is a one -act, sixty minute, two character absurdist comedy/tragedy. Premiering in 1959, it is just as timely today, as it shows the confrontation between the lonely outcasts of society and the dehumanised and unconscious middle class.

Set on a park bench in Centra Park, it's the story of Jerry, a young man alienated from the human race, and Peter, a middle class corporate player who is secure in his 'zoo'.
