Pulitzer Prize Winner and Macarthur Genius Grant Winner Nottage gives us the story of Mlima, an elderly “big tusker” elephant from a protected reserve in Kenya. When Mlima is poached for his glorious ivory tusks, those tusks begin a journey across the world, introducing us to a string of characters, each with their own goals and struggles surrounding the ivory trade. In every scene, Mlima’s magnificent presence hovers in the background, lending the weight of his history to this beautiful story.

HAPPENING TODAY!!!!
Join us for a virtual conversation with journalist Damon Tabor, whose work focuses on conflict, drug trafficking, black markets, and the environment, and whose article, “The Ivory Highway” inspired Mlima’s Tale.
You can join the conversation online for FREE on Saturday, September 24 at 3:45 PM. Join today at https://1ststage.org/conversations
Damon Tabor’s work has focused on conflict, drug trafficking, black markets and the environment. His stories have appeared in the New Yorker, Harper’s, Rolling Stone, Outside, Wired, and Men’s Journal. His writing has been noted in Best American Travel Writing and his Rolling Stone article “Border of Madness” was the basis of the Academy Award-nominated 2015 documentary Cartel Land. Most recently, he produced The Trade, a five-part documentary about the he**in epidemic, which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and aired on Showtime. He holds a Master’s of Science from Columbia Journalism School and is a recipient of a 2019 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant. His forthcoming book, The Mountain in the Burning Sky (Penguin Random House), chronicles the early pioneering history of U.S. Forest Service smokejumpers—elite aerial wilderness firefighters—and their later involvement in covert CIA missions throughout the Cold War. Lynn Nottage was inspired to write Mlima's Tale after reading his article, The Ivory Highway, which deals with how wild elephants are illegally hunted down by “contract poachers” and their ivory tusks smuggled out of Africa and sold for profit.

"'Mlima's Tale' at 1st Stage is like a dreaming, an exorcism, a cleansing. It feels like a ritual that is almost hypnotic and trance-inducing in the rhythms of its language.
