Elephant

Production Company: Feast Theatre
Venue: The Corn Hall
In a house balanced on an eroding cliff in North Norfolk, local recluse Manny gets a surprise visit from his estranged sister, Jessie, whom he’s not seen for a year. She’s wildly unpredictable, searching for a long lost family secret, and has inexplicably brought along with her a petty criminal, Lee Farrier, trussed up in a sack. 

As a rising tide eats away at the foundations, it’s the sudden appearance of a local girl, Cally, arriving with a damaged reputation and an uncanny ability to read minds, that prompts all four to try and salvage something from the day before it’s too late. 
 
But as time runs out, a hastily reckless plan begins to fall apart, exposing the bitter truths that have brought them together, the lies they’ve told each other, and against all expectation, the strangely redemptive power that might just be buried beneath their feet.

Writing workshop 

We are delighted that Jeremy Page, the award-winning writer of Elephant, will be running a workshop to accompany the performance of his play to provide people with the opportunity to develop their skills of expression.

The focus will be on listening to the experiences of coastal and rural living, and the stories that might arise from it, to explore themes from the play, and how the distinct East Anglian landscape can lend itself to shaping a unique sense of voice and character. 

This is a wonderful opportunity. To book your place CLICK HERE.
