A true tale of the tragic collision of a struggling circus and a tiny town in Tennessee, which resulted in the only known lynching of an elephant. Set in September 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 echos 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. Elephants 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 Seattle Times.
