A Bit About The Play

The Elephant in the Room is a community play set in the fictional village of Bramley. It features an antiques shop, a rare golden elephant, and a menacing lady in red. Full of colourful characters and brought to life by an all-female cast, this new comedy will be performed as a rehearsed play reading. The play resonates with the theme of nostalgia and gently evokes memories of the past through its lighthearted humour and the evocative environment in which it is set. A short Q&A session will follow the performance.

1 Hour Interactive Drama Workshop
