Mlima's Tale

At Theatre Nova

Wildwood, Ann Arbor

Pay What You Can option at every showing
Limited seating, very intimate setting

Lynn Nottage's searing play traces an elephant's ivory tusks through a global corruption chain—from Kenyan poachers to smugglers to wealthy collectors. In 70 minutes, one actor embodies the tusks while three others transform into every complicit hand.
