About this show
The Zoo Story is an award-winning, shocking and timely look at fragile, toxic masculinity. An absurdist masterpiece by the celebrated American playwright Edward Albee, this one-hour startling drama explores an unlikely friendship between Jerry, a socially awkward outcast, and Peter, a domesticated publishing executive who meets the man who may help him burst out of his suffocating, personal zoo. The ending is as shocking in 2026 as it was at its premiere in 1959. From The Classic Theatre Project in Yorkshire, producing classic stage works up close.
