Speaking Elephant

August 6 to August 30, 2009


written by:
Terry Lawrence

Based on the true story of Wanda and Winky, two aging Asian elephants living in the Detroit Zoo are placed in the middle of a controversy when the decision is made to relocate them to a place more conducive to their need - a sanctuary in California.  The elephants' attendant is torn.  How do you send someone you love away, even when it's for their own good?  And how do you make them understand that when you don't speak elephant?  While the humans examine the elephants' future, their physical and psychological conditions are explored with humor, wit and poignancy, reflecting the problems society brings when aging forces us to move out of our homes into a different environment.
