An Elephant in the Garden

Written by Michael Morpurgo
Presented by
Poonamallee Productions and Northcott Theatre, Exeter

1945. Dresden, Germany. Lizzie, her mother, and an elephant from the zoo flee the Allied firebombing in the endgame of the Second World War.

Escaping the Allied advance from the West, and the advancing Russian armies from the East, this extraordinary trio of refugees meet a downed RAF officer cowering in a barn, a homeless school choir on the run from the Nazis, and the mechanised American cavalry appearing over the horizon.

An Elephant in the Garden is adapted from Michael Morpurgo's best-selling children's novel by the creators of the five star Morpurgo hit Private Peaceful.
