| Description: |
An Elephant in the Garden is the new adaptation by Simon Reade from Michael Morpurgo's bestselling children's novel. A multi-character, multi-location one-woman show, it is very much in the theatrical mould of his highly successful one-man show adaptations of war stories Toro! Toro!, The Mozart Question and Private Peaceful. |
| Synopsis: |
An Elephant in the Garden is Simon Reade's new adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's best-selling children's novel. 1945. Dresden, Germany. Lizzie, her mother - and an elephant from the zoo, flee the Allied fire-bombing in the end-game of the Second World War. Escaping the Allies' advance from the West - and also the advancing Russian armies from the East - this extraordinary trio of refugees meet: a downed RAF officer, cowering in a barn; a homeless school choir on the run and their Countess saviour, harbouring them from the Nazis; and the mechanised American cavalry, appearing over the horizon. It is Lizzie's story - but Marlene, the elephant, is the heroine. Plodding, obdurate, opportunistic, loadbearing, indestructible, cheering - Marlene embodies the stubbornness of the human will and how it will do everything to survive. |
