Bengal Tiger At The Baghdad Zoo (Robin Williams)
Choose options
Rajiv Joseph’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated surrealist drama 'Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo' turned the stage of the Richard Rodgers Theatre into a spectacular, high-stakes philosophical battlefield of contemporary warfare in 2011. Set in the immediate, rubble-strewn aftermath of the 2003 American invasion of Iraq, the brilliant plot tracks the ghost of a quick-witted, cynical tiger who wanders the streets of Baghdad observing the intersecting lives, moral collapses, and psychological traumas of two American soldiers and an Iraqi gardener. Directed by Moisés Kaufman, the historic production achieved immense cultural profile by starring Academy Award icon Robin Williams in his monumental, critically lauded Broadway dramatic debut.
