The Zoo Story | The Old & New Theatre Company

The Old & New Theatre Company is delighted to present their production of Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story.

Peter has a wife and two daughters and a cat and two parakeets. Jerry has two empty picture frames and a dog and has been to the zoo. These two people find each other at a bench in central park New York and make an experience that neither of them will ever forget. In an evening to laugh and cry, what will come of their relationship afterwards?
