The Zoo Story by Edward Albee

​
Everything is fine. Until it isn't.
​Albee's classic play like you've never seen it before.
​
From three-time Pulitzer winner Edward Albee comes a classic tale as ferociously funny as it is heartbreaking. When Peter, a buttoned-up publishing executive, is approached by Jerry, a stranger with a story to tell, what follows is an unforgettable collision of civility and desperation, silence and speech, order and chaos.​
​
In this daring production, the two actors will alternate their roles each evening, offering audiences a chance to experience the story from different angles.
​​
Audience members can purchase a second-night ticket at 50% off to see the other version of the performance. The discount code will automatically be emailed to you when you purchase the tickets for the first performance.
Previous Work
Oleanna by David Mamet
From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, Oleanna is a provocative drama that dives into the complexities of power, politics, and perception in academia. Written in 1992, this play remains strikingly relevant, reflecting the contentious debates surrounding power balances and communication breakdowns in today's society. The plot centers around John, a university professor, and Carol, his student. What starts as benign academic discussions spirals into a catastrophic power clash, with dire consequences for both. Through Mamet's sharp dialogue, the play invites audiences to unravel the complex layers of language and authority.​
​
“You. Do. Not. Have. The. Power.”​
--David Mamet, Oleanna
Constellations by Nick Payne
Groundhog Day meets The Theory of Everything in Nick Payne’s Tony-nominated play. Marianne, a Cambridge physicist, and Roland, a London beekeeper, meet by chance, and are instantly drawn to each other. As their relationship grows, they are confronted by choices that will alter the trajectory of their lives. A love story told through the framework of string theory, Constellations is a play that makes you want to be alive.
Constellations ran February 14-25, 2024 at Studio 16 in Vancouver
"Because if it were me and I were you I think that I would want as much time as possible.”
--Nick Payne, Constellations
