Mlima's Tale

By Lynn Nottage

Mlima is a magnificent elephant 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.

NOTE FROM READER: Lots of opportunities for movement. done with 4 actors but much Doubling, so might be able to be done with more actors. Would need a number of black students, but maybe not all.
