Mlima's Tale by Lynn Nottage | Kiln Theatre | Until 21 October

Playing at Kiln Theatre 14 September - 21 October
“If you not give elephant proper burial he’ll haunt you forever.”
Following its world premiere at the Public Theater in New York, Mlima’s Tale makes its UK premiere at Kiln Theatre in September.
Mlima is known as one of the last ‘Great Tuskers’ - elephants with tusks so large they touch the ground. When he is murdered for these magnificent tusks, Mlima’s ghost follows those connected to his death. From poachers, to government officials, to ivory carvers, he watches as capitalism, greed and corruption marks everyone in the ivory trade.
Written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage (MJ The Musical, The Secret Life of Bees) and directed by Miranda Cromwell (Death of a Salesman), this powerful and unforgettable story leaves its mark long after the lights go down.
