Why Elephant Is a Must-See

Written and performed by Anoushka Lucas, an Olivier-nominated and Stage Debut Award-winning talent, Elephant has already captivated critics and audiences alike. Originally part of the Bush Theatre’s Protest series responding to the murder of George Floyd, it has now been reimagined into a full production — ready to move and challenge London theatregoers.

🎭 What’s It About?
Lylah, a young woman shaped by the pressures of school, family, and identity, finds her world transformed when a piano “falls from the sky” into her life. As music fills her childhood home, it opens doors to love, a blossoming career, and — eventually — tough questions about her roots and history. When Lylah turns to the piano for answers, long-buried truths rise to the surface.
