Inspired by Edward Albee's appearance at Bucknell University in the Spring of 2011 as the Janet Weis Fellow in Contemporary Letters, Diego Chiri'12 directs Albee's 1958 play "The Zoo Story." In this, Albee's first play, two strangers meet on a summer afternoon in Central Park, New York City. Peter is a married man who works for a small publishing house and Jerry is an isolated man who has just come back from the Zoo. This encounter challenges their perceptions of love, failure, and interpersonal connections as the mystery of what happened at the zoo develops into a shocking conclusion.
