| المستخلص: |
Edward Albee's The Zoo Story, his first play, established him as a leading advocate of "the Theatre of the Absurd" across the globe. The play's controversial satire of a national icon earned its author the label of "enfant terrible" in the American theatrical world. A masterfully rendered conversation between social outsider Jerry and conformist Peter was cut short by a shocking conclusion. The bench served as a stage for assertion and was thus the most important set piece. A life was lost in the bench fight. Jerry finally shut off his internal monologue by impaling himself on Peter's knife. The whole play consists of talk between two characters until a shocking climax. It's a linguistic drama, where words build scenes and drive the action. Jerry is a well realised creation who ably performed the human condition. He can only express his need to talk to others and get over his gnawing isolation via words. The whole modern condition of drama is successfully depicted on stage with a minimal number of people, hardly no props or stage sets, and little action or drama in the traditional sense. There was such a seamless integration of form and substance that it seemed the latter had become the former. The Zoo Story seems to be an application of the Absurd approach, yet it also has its own unique flavour. |
