At Home at the Zoo: Homelife & The Zoo Story

This new production of Edward Albee’s At Home at the Zoo, directed by Lila Neugebauer (Everybody), honors Albee, who passed away in 2016. In Act 1, “Homelife,” we meet Peter and his wife, who live a comfortable but vaguely unhappy bourgeois existence; in the second act, the classic “The Zoo Story,” Peter is forever altered by an oddly persistent stranger in Central Park. With jolts of brutality and Albee’s signature dark humor, this seminal play explores both the love and the cruelty that we inflict on each other every day.
