This tells 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

REVIEWS

"Based on a true story ... It conjures a world with its own atmosphere and terrible internal logic. It's mesmerizing... symphonic in its emotional variations on a tragic theme ... 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 Stranger, Seattle

"A theatrical masterpiece" ~ Columbia City Paper

"Deeply moving ... has the audience in stitches at the open and tears at the close" ~ TheSunCoast.com
