I'm not sure what you mean by "classes". The one-act play revolves around a conversation between Peter, a middle-class publishing executive, and Jerry, an eccentric transient. They chat cordially in Central Park, but their discussion gradually descends into violence. In a 2011 interview, Albee admitted that he was more interested in Jerry's perspectives than Peter's, which is why the play is structured around Peter's reactions to Jerry's odd behavior. "He was the more interesting person, the more complex person," Albee commented. "An outsider is always more interesting than an establishment figure" (Wallenberg).
