Synopsis
Zoo and Twelve Comic Monologues for Women
Published by Nick Hern Books
0 Male 2 Female
At Miami's Cherokee Valley Zoo & Conservation Centre, the most dangerous thing that ever happened was the tapir's caesarian section
That is until Hurricane Jonas sets itself on a crash course straight towards it
Now zookeeper Bonnie must rush to batten down the hatches and ensure the safety of her animals
And, of course, herself
Meanwhile - halfway across the world in the Yorkshire Dales - Bonnie's friend Carol is feeling the repercussions of that tempestuous night
Will she be able to help from afar?
Or will the danger they all face turn out to be deeper and darker than a spot of bad weather?
A wildly inventive comedy drama about courage and female friendship
And flamingos
This two-hander premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018, where it was selected as one of the Guardian's Best Shows of the Fringe
This edition also includes twelve comic monologues for female performers
