Set in September of 1916, the play combines historical fact and legend, exploring the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence and revenge. "The script-based on a true story about a traveling circus that, in 1916, stumbled into gory disaster in a muddy Tennessee town-is, like the best art, microscopically specific with echoes that radiate outward across time. It conjures a world with its own atmosphere and terrible internal logic. It's mesmerizing...symphonic in its emotional variations on a tragic theme. Elephant's Graveyard buzzes with truth about the consequences of misunderstanding, the invisible but enormous gap between artists and their audiences, and the infernal beauty of vaudeville." -The Stranger, Seattle "A theatrical masterpiece."- Columbia City Paper "The most striking production in the (NSDF) festival." - Times of London "Deeply moving...has the audience in stitches at the open and tears at the close." - Language: English Genre: Poetry & Drama Country/Region of Manufacture: US Item Height: 203mm Item Length: 127mm Item Width: 2mm Item Weight: 66g Release Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
