Direct from New York, The Dukes is proud to welcome Elephant, a visually stunning and exciting piece of theatre.

Chief Zanenvula, a good man and respected chief of his tribe, has been refused entry into heaven. Distraught and uncomprehending, he calls on his ancestors to find the answer. Told to look back on his past, the Chief reviews his life and actions, and slowly understands how he has offended the spirit of Africa. What did he do, and how can he redeem himself? 

Elephant is a spectacular collaboration between British visual theatre company Dodgy Clutch and the worldrenowned Market Theatre in Johannesburg. It has already been a huge success in South Africa.

Elephant brings together a multitalented company of actors, dancers, story-tellers and musicians from the UK and South Africa.

For 4-star luxury theatre breaks (including tickets to Elephant), please see Lancaster House Hotel.
