Description
This Studio Theatre double bill presents two hard-hitting dramas exploring the downside of modern life. Shelagh Stephenson’s Five Kinds of Silence tells the brutal story of a family controlled and bonded by abuse.
Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story explores isolation, social disparity, and dehumanisation in an uncaring commercial world.
Both plays are unflinching in their often disturbing view of a distorted world. Each writer broaches difficult subjects with brilliance, truthfulness, and glimmers of ironic humour amidst relentless dramatic suspense.
