At Home at the Zoo is enjoying a one-weekend revival at the historic Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York. At Home is comprised of two plays, actually — Albee’s first, The Zoo Story, and its prequel written some five decades later, Homelife.
And to our delight, one of our favorite couples of the stage and screen, Michael Urie and Ryan Spahn, will be playing the leads.Albee’s seminal work, The Zoo Story, written in only three weeks in 1958, was at first rejected by American producers but went on to become one of his most famous.
The one-act play centers on a chance meeting between two men, Peter and Jerry [played by Spahn and Urie respectively], and a conversation that leaves their lives forever changed.
