The Zoo Story by Edward Albee
The play is a gripping exploration of isolation, loneliness, and social disparity in modern America, told through an intense encounter between two strangers in Central Park. Jerry, a disheveled and desperate man, intrudes on the peaceful solitude of Peter, a well-to-do publisher of textbooks, and forces him into a conversation. As Jerry probes into Peter's life and shares his own disturbing narrative, the conversation spirals into a confrontation that ends in sudden violence, challenging the audience to reflect on the nature of human interaction and the invisible walls that separate people in society.
