←Recommendations of elephants

Stunning imagery coupled with truths and sweet-toughness. The imagery strengthens characters and brings us to a tough finish line that may be inevitable but is challenging. A gorgeous piece of theatre that will resonate when produced. So., produce it.

My Little Brother is autistic. I have to say the playwright captured the experience of having someone in your life with autism very eloquently. There is a degree of subtlety to this play that is awe inspiring.

Beautiful and captivating, "elephants" invites us to consider autism, imagination, and grief. This touching play uses physicality and rhythm, creating stunning moments of both connection and distance. A lovely opportunity for a young actor with autism to bring aspects of their world to life in this vivid storytelling to the audience. "There can’t be any lying, or secrets, when the
words are just vibrated to you."

A beautiful and heart-wrenching piece. Exquisite.

I'm always excited when writers bring such color to 10 minute plays. It's such an alive piece with the drumming, the movement, the imaginary elephant! Plus, the language is also lovely and grief is sad and sweet. I can imagine watching it will be rough (in a beautiful way haha.) I can see why it's been produced a ton!

Oh my, this play made me cry and I'm sure it will leave any audience emotional. I praise the author for suggesting (politely insisting!) Lily be played by an autistic person, because there are so few roles available to the autistic. Also the references to elephants and their family unity make this all the more emotional. Simply stunning.

Just remarkable. Henry has such a gift for making you feel in such a short amount of time. The writing here is poetic and beautiful and profoundly sad. Every line is sweet with poignancy and a melancholy tenderness. This is a heartbreaker of a play and well-worth a read. An excellently crafted ten minute play.

In this wonderful short play Jordan takes us on such a journey of the imaginative spirit being set free as Sue and her Aunt try to prepare for a birthday party and Sue only wants to talk about Elephants, both of them not dealing with a much more devastating "Elephant" in the room. I am always impressed with the staging of Jordan's plays as much as I am captivated by the wonderful dialogue that's so fresh and real and makes me sit back in awe of her as a writer and take notes of another perfect composition in motion.

A heightened and compassionate piece that once again highlights Henry's gift for exploring elephant-sized emotional depths in a daringly short span of time. This is a play you feel; from Sue's evocative thoughts about elephants to the literal percussive vibrations that punctuate the language.

A small but mighty short play. The playwright intrigues you with a young autistic girl's passion for elephants, and her incandescent hope that her mother will one day come back for her. But when the devastating final revelation occurs, good luck keeping those tears in your eyes. The final monologue is one of the most heartbreaking pieces of writing I've ever read in a dramatic piece. Excellent!
