"The Zoo Story" by Edward Albee and "The Lover" by Harold Pinter - Student-Directed One-Acts

"The Zoo Story" by Edward Albee
Student-Directed by Caleb Hoppe

Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story begins as an ordinary conversation between Peter and Jerry, two strangers in the park, on a typical Sunday afternoon. As the day progresses, their conversation evolves into something greater than either could have anticipated. Tensions ebb and flow into a culmination of power and desire that calls attention to what lies under the surface of our humanity. Albee finds what brings us together and what pushes us further apart, and fits The Zoo Story perfectly between the two.

"The Lover" by Harold Pinter
Student-Directed by Natalie Shoemaker

"The Lover" by Harold Pinter is a tense, psychological drama that explores the complexities of marriage, desire, and identity. The play follows Richard and Sarah, a seemingly conventional couple who engage in an elaborate game of infidelity and roleplay. As the boundaries between fantasy and reality blur, their carefully controlled dynamic begins to unravel, exposing the power struggles and emotional fractures beneath their relationship. With Pinter’s signature use of pauses and subtext, "The Lover" keeps audiences questioning who holds control and whether love can truly exist without deception.

"The Zoo Story" and "The Lover" are both showing together. They are one-act plays and one show will be Act I, and the other show will be Act II.
