An Elephant in the Garden is Simon Reade's new adaptation of
Michael Morpurgo's best-selling children's novel. 1945. Dresden,
Germany. Lizzie, her mother - and an elephant from the zoo, flee
the Allied fire-bombing in the end-game of the Second World War.
Escaping the Allies' advance from the West - and also the advancing
Russian armies from the East - this extraordinary trio of refugees
meet: a downed RAF officer, cowering in a barn; a homeless school
choir on the run and their Countess saviour, harbouring them from
the Nazis; and the mechanised American cavalry, appearing over the
horizon. It is Lizzie's story - but Marlene, the elephant, is the
heroine. Plodding, obdurate, opportunistic, loadbearing,
indestructible, cheering - Marlene embodies the stubbornness of the
human will and how it will do everything to survive.
