About Elephant
Award-winner Anoushka Lucas stars in a brand new production of her critically-acclaimed debut show: ELEPHANT.
Part gig, part musical love story, part journey through Empire - ELEPHANT is a bold and magnetic exploration of identity in 21st Century Britain.
At school, Lylah couldn’t ask questions – she had to be good, good, good or else she’d lose her scholarship. At home she couldn’t ask questions; her cousins said she talked weird, and her parents were distracted. Then, a piano came through the sky and landed in Lylah’s council flat, just for her. As she poured over the keys and sound flooded into all the rooms, Lylah fell in love.
Now an adult, Lylah is swept up in the excitement of a new romance and a budding music career. But something still doesn’t feel right. In a search for answers, she turns to her piano. Where did you come from? Why are you here? The unspoken truth of their shared history spills into the light.
Following ELEPHANT’s unforgettable sold-out runs at the Bush Theatre, writer and performer Anoushka Lucas (Oklahoma!, A Face in the Crowd, Rhinoceros) reunites with original director Jess Edwards (Hotter/Fitter) for this brand new production.
ELEPHANT was originally commissioned and produced by the Bush Theatre.
