Edward
Albee’s first play, first performed in 1960, is brought
to DCAC for the first time
by the provocative Theatre Du Jour.
A
man sits peacefully reading in the sunlight in Central Park. There
enters a second man. He is a young, unkempt and undisciplined
vagrant where the first is neat, ordered, well-to-do and conventional.
The vagrant is a soul in torture and rebellion. He longs to communicate
so fiercely that he frightens and repels his listener. He is a
man drained of all hope who, in his passion for company, seeks
to drain his companion.
With
provocative humor and unrelenting suspense, the young savage slowly,
but relentlessly, brings his victim down to his own atavistic
level as he relates a story about his visit to the zoo.
Directed
by Kris Roth. Featuring Jerry Herbilla and B. Stanley.
