At Home at the Zoo combines two related one-acts by Edward Albee, The Zoo Story (1959) and Homelife (2004) into a unified evening. It was Albee’s intent that the two plays be performed together. The Zoo Story has become a modern classic, but Albee wasn’t quite satisfied with it, and wrote Homelife as an opening act for it.
Peter has what he believes is a calm, comfortable marriage with Ann. But Ann is distinctly unsatisfied with the status quo.
Peter leaves his Upper East Side apartment to go read a book on a bench in Central Park. He encounters Jerry, his opposite. Peter is successful, and connected, with a wife, children, and pets. Jerry is a loner, down and out, desperate, and dangerous. Their meeting will change the fates of both men forever.
Directed by Ashley Taylor and Jeff Frame.
