The zoo story review

The Zoo Story written by Edward Albee is a play script that pits a middle class American against a lower class one in terms of ideals among other things.
Peter the middle class American lives a decent life with a job, a wife and two girls he lives comfortably, the ideal American one would say. Jerry on the other hand is the opposite with no stability in his life he lives on his own living day to day with no actual life to live.

 Edward Albee writes an astounding script which I believe can be interpreted in more than one way. As you can see in the pictures ,which are from the Black rat production version Of The Zoo Story, there is really just a bench in the story no actual background so to speak of. Although the play can be seen as two people it might also be seen as one mans effort to kill off a part of him that he may not like thus bringing in a representation of what one would could consider to be an internal struggle which is can be related to most people at one point or another.

Edward Albee writes a compelling story and even though Jerry is a bit crazy you cant help but feel a bit bad because he was at the point where he had no one but himself and the main reason for him being at the park was really to find somebody or anybody really that could give him a solution in life.

I find this script to be an amazing piece of work and rather enjoy looking at the script in both of the ways I had described as it puts a spin on the story and cn be read almost as two entirely different stories.
