Description
About the Book
A two-act play consisting of Albee's "The Zoo Story" (1959) as the second act, and the addition of the prequel "Homelife," in which Peter and his wife Ann have a conversation that compels him to take the walk in the park where he encounters Jerry, as the first act.Book Synopsis
Edward Albee's At Home at the Zoo brings together two classic one-act plays--Homelife and the iconic The Zoo Story--revealing the evolution of one of modern American drama's most celebrated characters.
In Homelife, Albee explores the emotionally subdued domestic existence of Peter and his wife Ann, delving into themes of intimacy, repression, and the quiet agonies of upper-middle-class life. This narrative seamlessly transitions into The Zoo Story, where Peter's chance encounter with the volatile Jerry in Central Park becomes a harrowing confrontation that exposes the raw nerves of human connection, isolation, and desperation. By pairing these works, Albee offers a profound, layered study of identity, civility, and the wild instincts that lurk beneath the surface of civilized society.About the Author
