the zoo story

Co-Produced with Indomitus Theatre 

“Sometimes it’s necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.”

Peter sits on a bench in Central Park, reading and thinking. Jerry joins him, having just been to the zoo. He draws the unwilling Peter into conversation and extracts information from him. In return, Jerry supplies Peter with a curious medley of information about his wanderings in New York. The outcome of the meeting is a willing death for one of them.

This production toured 8 parks in downtown Toronto during the summer of 2021. For every performance, the performers flipped a coin and would swap characters based on the outcome of the toss. THE ZOO STORY featured the following team: 

Co-directed Katarina Fiallos & Robert Morrison
