Elephants (NHB Modern Plays)

Rose Heiney's debut play Elephants is a sharp black comedy with a tender heart that explores the paths we take in life and their repercussions on the people we love most.
5.53 p.m. Christmas Eve. Richard and Sally are waiting for their friends and family to join in the festivities – the tree is decorated, the wine is mulling, the presents are wrapped. But behind this shiny facade, nothing is quite right – and as cracks start appearing, attempts to paper over them make for an explosive evening of revelations and dark secrets exposed.
Elephants premiered at Hampstead Downstairs in December 2014 in a production directed by Tamara Harvey.

    DICK. Hey!
    DAISY. They’re going to rip the rotting carcass of our family life apart, and they’re going to shit all over it. And, Mum – nice hair. Just had that done, did you? They’ll love that. Symptom of your total fucking wrongness. ‘Off at the salon as her junkie son lay dead.’ ‘Middle-class malaise.’ ‘Tip of the iceberg.’ Big think-piece. Editorial. We’re all on trial, the lot of us. And your little fairy-princess-castle-Jesus-hero story might be fooling everyone now, but come January, it’s over. And you need to fucking face up to that. (Running out of steam.) You have to face up to things. They – they say in the clinic… you have to – face it all. Or you get more hurt.

    and took me outside and tried to make me feel better by giving me a Strepsil. Which was a bit weird.

    Mum planted snowdrops in the garden for you. A whole bed of them.
