Elephant's Graveyard: Abridged Version – by George Brant

Elephant's Graveyard: Abridged Version by George Brant

Drama, Full Length / 10m, 3f. Winner! 2008 Keene Prize for Literature

Elephant's Graveyard is the 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 of 1916, the play combines historical fact and legend, exploring the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence and revenge. This abridged version, which runs about 40 minutes in length, is perfect for high schools looking to perform the play at theatre competitions or for producers looking for a shorter version of the original script. Adapted by the author, it maintains the haunting drama of the award-winning full length play.
