Story/Teller Arts: Lynn Nottage on Mlima's Tale with Damon Tabor
September 29, 7pm ET
The Center for Fiction & Livestreamed
15 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217.
The Center for Fiction is thrilled to welcome Lynn Nottage, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Ruined and Sweat, for a conversation on her haunting, enthralling new play, Mlima’s Tale. Continuing Nottage’s tradition of crafting thought-provoking, socially conscious dramas, her play tells the story of Mlima, an elephant struck down by poachers for his magnificent tusks. Nottage is joined by 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.
The Center for Fiction is thrilled to continue its collaboration with Theatre Communications Group for this fifth event, with past events featuring Jackie Sibblies Drury and Claudia Rankine, Annie Baker and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Heidi Schreck and Paula Vogel, and Sarah Ruhl and Matthew Aucoin.
