Zoo Animal

**Understaffed and financially unstable, the zoo is in trouble.

From the creative mind behind the Booker-nominated and New York Times notable Sabrina, comes a chilling workplace drama in the pitch of Nathan Fielder.**

Mona is an ex-figure skater, haunted by her failure. Now a zookeeper, her obsessive thoughts and compulsions are slowing her down—not great news for the zoo's bottom line.

Recently promoted to zoo director, Philip has inherited a myriad of problems, including a doomed aquarium project that is past due and over budget.

Then there is poor Brittany, responsible for public relations. Not an easy job after a deadly attack has the animal rights activists circling.

These are just a few of the folks in Nick Drnaso's ensemble cast. Behind the clean landscaping and cute-as-can-be animals—all lushly rendered in precise inks and ice cream hues—lies something quite frightening.

A master observer of human behavior, Drnaso brilliantly portrays ordinary people struggling to cope within a rotten institution. Welcome to the zoo!
