At Home at the Zoo: Homelife and the Zoo Story

I ve been to the zoo.
These opening words usher the audience into one of the most iconic plays in American theater history:

The Zoo Story. More than fifty years later, master playwright Edward Albee (Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?) wrote a prequel to this classic. Home Story contains the events in Peter s life immediately preceding his encounter with Jerry on the park bench and is every bit as powerful as the original. We meet Ann, Peter s wife, and see the conversation that compelled Peter to go for that fateful walk in the park. For the first time collected in one volume, At Home at the Zoo is a must for any theater lover.
