A HOME AT THE ZOO makes its Tokyo premiere just two seasons after its Off-Broadway debut. Though it is three-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Edward Albee's newest work, it is an extension of one of his earliest works. In it, Albee expands on his one-act play THE ZOO STORY by adding a first act: HOMELIFE, which depicts Peter at home with his wife, Ann, before going to the park. A HOME AT THE ZOO is now the only version of THE ZOO STORY that Albee will allow to be performed.

SIS Company was established on July 1, 1989 by President Kitamura Tomoko. This is not its first experience with Edward Albee, having previously won the Kinokuniya Theatre Award Groups Awards of 2006 and Yomiuri Theatre Award for Best Picture for WHO'S AFRAID OF Virginia Woolf?. The company prides itself in being dually focused in stage production and artist management, helping it become the premier entertainment Production Company it is today.
