Book Review By Jessica Marler
The Zoo Story by Edward Albee

Peter is nearing middle age and appears neat and well off. While sitting in Central Park Zoo, he is approached by a younger man, disheveled and dirty. This man, Jerry, brings up questions that seem silly and give the play great humor but deal with religion and sexuality (particularly homosexuality).
