Description

About the Book

A provocative new play from the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Ruined and Sweat.

Book Synopsis

"A beautiful, endlessly echoing portrait of a murder and its afterlife. Ms. Nottage shaped this story with such theatrical inventiveness and discipline that it never feels sensational... A finely wrought fusion of elements." --Ben Brantley, New York Times

Continuing in her tradition of crafting thought-provoking, socially conscious dramas, Lynn Nottage's play tells the story of Mlima, an elephant struck down by poachers for his magnificent tusks. Beginning in a game park in Kenya, the play tracks the trajectory of Mlima's tusks through the ivory trade market while Mlima's ghost follows close behind--marking all those complicit in his barbaric death.

Review Quotes

"Mlima's Tale, a haunting drama about avarice and ivory, offers a dramatic reminder that the majestic beasts endure things no living creature would want to recall... This lacerating and lyrical play leaves a mark."

--Joe Dziemianowicz "New York Daily News"

"An enthralling piece of theater that tells a fascinating story in a daringly original way... Riveting."

--Terry Teachout "Wall Street Journal"

"Clear, uncluttered, and hard-hitting... A play of rare beauty, rare understanding, and great moral power."

--Christopher Arnott "Hartford Courant"

"Tightly crafted... Mlima's Tale is dedicated to excavating the gnarly human details behind the assault on one of the planet's most endangered animals."

--Sara Holdren "Vulture"
