The Zoo Story

By Edward Albee, directed by Geoff Hunt

12th – 15th July 2011


he Zoo Story was produced as part of the 2011 Frome Festival and was performed by Aynsley Minty and Dan Gaisford. The play was directed by Geoff Hunt assisted by Michael Hoskinson and stage managed by Mike Witt. The production focusses on the relationship between two strangers who happen to meet in Central Park, New York.

This cult play by Edward Albee is only available to amateurs and the site specific performance in the park was the highlight of the mini tour which took in Rook Lane Chapel, The Merlin Theatre and Victoria Park.

The show featured a technical first when the sound effects of Central Park were broadcast live from the park itself to the Rook Lane venue via an internet connection and for this our thanks go to Paula D’Alessandris from Mind the Gap Theater, New York.
