They call him Mlima, the mountain - a magnificent elephant slaughtered by poachers for his tusks. Beginning in a game park in Kenya, we follow the trajectory of the tusks through the international ivory-trade market, while Mlima's spirit is close behind, marking all those complicit in his barbaric death.
Lynn Nottage's play "Mlima's Tale" is a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, rage-inducing portrait of humankind's capacity for corruption and greed, and our continued destruction of the natural world. It was first produced at The Public Theater, New York City, in 2018, and received its British premiere at Kiln Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Miranda Cromwell.
The play tells the story of Mlima, a majestic elephant who is killed by poachers for his tusks in a game park in Kenya. Mlima's spirit is then bound to the tusks, and he follows them through the international ivory-trade market, haunting and marking all those who are involved in his brutal death.
The play explores the complex web of corruption and greed that drives the ivory trade, and the devastating impact it has on the lives of elephants and other wildlife. It also highlights the role that governments, corporations, and individuals play in perpetuating this illegal trade and the need for stronger laws and enforcement to protect endangered species.
Through the powerful performances of the cast and the stark staging of the play, "Mlima's Tale" brings home the urgency of the situation and the need for collective action to protect the natural world and the animals that inhabit it. It is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to preserve the planet for future generations.
