'Zoo" by Lily Bevan

Directed by Jess Toyne

'Zoo' is a story of two complex, funny, awkward women - both in a mire of bosses, exes, hierarchies - both prefer animals to people, because both need to escape.

Bonnie and Carol meet at a conference in Chester Zoo, and become best friends who do everything together and help one another.

Carol lives in North Yorkshire; she is passionate about working with bats, but is navigating an angry ex-husband, her silent son Paul, meddling local caving groups , and the South Yorkshire bat group! 

Bonnie lives in Miami. When a hurricane heads straight for the city, Bonnie hurries to keep her animals safe. In doing so she has to face the pain of her past, and awkwardness of her role at the Zoo including relationships with Ian Butterwick - the giant otter expert - and her boss Bill, to face the hurricane and save her beloved animal tribe.
