The Zoo Story

Edward Albee’s satirical one-act play that started his career.

This is a play that has stayed with me since my high-school days, and along with Waiting for Godot informed my approach to the stage. I was thrilled to put this on with the support of The Balally Players.

The show is a celebration of absurdism, complete with blood, prose, and dog erections, that was a thrill to stage each night.

Jerry — Joseph Ryan Warner
Peter — Mars Desmond
Music — Jamie Nugent
Direction, lighting & visuals — Liam Borgström
