"Elephant's Graveyard is the unfortunately true story of Mary, an elephant who went berserk during a parade through the middle of a small town in Tennessee in 1916. The townspeople demanded justice for her actions, which led to a very unfortunate set of circumstances. The play combines historical fact and legend, exploring the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence and revenge."--George Brant's interview answer to Adam Szymkowicz in "I Interview Playwrights Part 48: George Brant" by Adam Szymkowicz.
