Mpact Productions presents The Zoo Story, a powerful and provocative play written by renowned American playwright Edward Albee, directed by the esteemed Chris Weare, at The Drama Factory, on Thursday June 19, at 7.30pm, Saturday June 21, at 4pm, and Sunday June 22, at 4pm.

This intense, thought-provoking drama delves deep into themes of isolation, communication, and the complexities of human interaction.

Set in New York City’s Central Park, the story unfolds as two strangers, Peter and Jerry, engage in a seemingly innocent, light conversation that quickly spirals into something that's unpredictable.

Albee's exploration of societal disconnect and the human condition is as relevant today as it was when the play first debuted. This production stars the talented Francois Immelman as Peter and Michael MacKenzie as Jerry.

With gripping performances and a deeply emotional narrative, The Zoo Story is a theatrical experience that will leave you contemplating long after the curtain falls.   

Tickets cost R180 and R150, and can be booked at www.thedramafactory.co.za

The venue is located at 10 Comprop Square, Asla Business Park, and for more information, call 073 215 2290.
