Mlima’s Tale
by Lynn Nottage
Directed by Sharon Graci
Cannon Street Arts Center
Southeastern Regional Premiere
June 16-25, 2022
A magnificent elephant is trapped by the underground international ivory market. As he follows a trail littered by a history of greed, Mlima takes us on a journey through memory, fear, tradition, and the penumbra between want and need.

“The world Nottage has brought to the stage is rich with detail, its characters complex and engaging.”
—Time Out New York
“Eighty straight minutes of searing brilliance, MLIMA’S TALE makes a strong argument for plausible deniability as a luxury far greater than ivory, afforded to only the most privileged.”
