a segment from a play The Zoo Story.

A man reading a book just wants to be left alone with his favorite bench! Will he be left alone?

Made for my directing for film class. It was shot in two hours. I didn't really try to do much, just for fun really. I twisted the ending. I didn't want to shoot the entire thing nor would want to.

  • WTF was that!?!?!

    most of the story was cut out!!!

  • it was made into a short project....you know...short...as in not original piece...

  • Got to write about Zoo Story in my A Level exam, it's a really good play I have enjoyed studying it, any other Albee play you know of this standard?

  • Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is one more great masterpiece by Edward. A really great play and fun for the director and actors to put on.

  • Oh, I love the Zoo Story! I'm doing Jerry's monologue in it for my Drama class :)

    It was a good video, though I think you need to give the play a re-read. Peter's acting was pretty good, and Jerry seemed authentic, but he wasn't... Jerry. He sees himself as so insignificant that he's unbelievably desperate for attention, which is why he talks to Peter... the Jerry in this is... normal. XD I mean, it works well enough for your shorter version, but it's like Jerry is missing.

  • well the juicy part with Jerry I could never get to, I had to cut it short, this piece really focuses on Peter. Jerry's big moment was cut when I ended it with Peter walking away...too cold outside to keep going...

see all

  • Five people haven't been to the zoo today.

  • You guys could work on Broadway or at least some run-down Community Theatre

  • This is great! The biggest challenge in this play is 'why doesn't peter just get up and walk away.' And, I think after there introduction, is exactly when he would! Super cute.

  • Tim and Eric?

  • WTH, they cut out the most dramatic scene in this play...

  • I'd like to see the full version. ESPECIALLY Jerry's dog story.

  • lol @ twist ending

  • @hawkinsjoshua
