At Home at the Zoo

At Home at the ZooAmerica's greatest living playwright pairs his provocative classic, A Zoo Story, with a new prequel titled Homelife. Peter and his wife, Ann, survive a confessional that shakes their 15-year marriage. Homelife ends with Peter going to read a book in Central Park, where a chance meeting with a stranger named Jerry will change his life in an alarming way. Experience the intensity and honesty for which Edward Albee is known.

"... tight dialogue, a challenging premise and an unsettling ending."
- New York Times
