內容簡介 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. �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.
