Elephant Tickets - London
After a successful season at the Bush Theatre, Elephant will showcase for a 6-week London season at the Menier Chocolate Factory, reuniting writer and performer Anoushka Lucas with original director Jess Edwards.
Lylah couldn’t ask questions at school – she just had to be good, good, good, or she’d lose her hard-earned scholarship. She couldn’t ask questions at home either; her cousins said she talked funny, and her parents were always busy and distracted. Then, one day, a piano came through the sky, landing in Lylah’s council flat just for her. As Lylah poured over the pristine black and white keys, with sound flowing into all the rooms, Lylah fell in love.
Now an adult, Lylah is caught up in the buzzing excitement of a promising music career and a new romance. But something just doesn’t feel right. She turns to her piano searching for answers. Why are you here? Where did you come from? The unspoken truth of their shared history overflows and spills into the light.
