LONDON ZOO

About the show

The bitingly funny, multi-award winning London Zoo returns for a strictly limited period. It’s the dawn of the new millennium. With the newspaper industry in crisis, a group of media moguls are plotting a new acquisition. Sunil, a recent underdog, will squash anyone if it means staying on top, Christian is being called out for his 1990s “speech bubble sexism”, innocent accountant Charles is trying to find the right way to say the right thing and Arabella – the only woman in the boardroom – has decided to speak out in one final, defiant, act. As the dusty status quo is blown apart, the layers of unspoken interracial racism and sexism against strong women by weak men begin to reveal themselves. Winner of Best Production and Best Ensemble Acting at the London Pub Theatres Awards, with two sell-out runs and a slew of critical praise to its name, London Zoo is a funny, shocking take-down of the prejudices that live – and thrive – in the boardrooms of power.
