Zoo Story (1971)

Zoo Story by Edward Albee was an open air performance by SLT at 146 Church Road Upper Norwood on Friday 18 June 1971. The performance was promoted by Crystal Palace Triangle Community Association and started at 8.30pm. Tickets were 10p to members and 20p to non members.

Although it was known that SLT had performed this play in 1971, no other details were available until a poster for the production was included in the book The Amazing Technicolour Triangle by its designer Audrey Hammond in 2019 (published by the Crystal Palace Community Association).

146 Church Road is a large Victorian house which has since been divided into nine flats. More research is needed to establish why it was being used for theatre productions in 1971; as the poster describes the performance as 'open air', it presumably took place in the garden.
