The zoo story

'The Zoo Story' is a one-act play that explores themes of isolation, loneliness, and the human need for connection.

The play unfolds in New York City's Central Park, where Peter, a middle-class publishing executive, encounters Jerry, a troubled and alienated young man.

Jerry's desperate attempts to engage Peter in conversation escalate into a disturbing confrontation.

Through their interaction, Albee examines the barriers that prevent genuine communication and understanding between people.

The play challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about society and the individual's place within it.
