Set in September of 1916, the play combines historical fact and legend, exploring the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence and revenge. \"The script-based on a true story about a traveling circus that, in 1916, stumbled into gory disaster in a muddy Tennessee town-is, like the best art, microscopically specific with echoes that radiate outward across time. It conjures a world with its own atmosphere and terrible internal logic. It's mesmerizing...symphonic in its emotional variations on a tragic theme. Elephant's Graveyard buzzes with truth about the consequences of misunderstanding, the invisible but enormous gap between artists and their audiences, and the infernal beauty of vaudeville.\" -The Stranger, Seattle \"A theatrical masterpiece.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e- Columbia City Paper \"The most striking production in the (NSDF) festival.\" - Times of London \"Deeply moving...has the audience in stitches at the open and tears at the close.\" - TheSunCoast.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samuel French, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49110688301283,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780573698156-1.jpg?v=1788344791","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780573698156","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
