Mlima’s Tale
Opening Night: April 15, 2018
Closing: May 20, 2018
Theater: Joseph Papp Public Theater
Taking us on a journey that starts in a game park in Kenya and goes around the world, MLIMA’S TALE is the story of Mlima, a magnificent elephant trapped in the clandestine international ivory market. Following a trail of greed and desire as old as trade itself, Mlima leads us through memory and fear, history and tradition, and want and need.
