The Elephant In The Room
Clockschool Theatre presents The Elephant In The Room. A play by Peter Hamilton
On a tour of India, a young Englishman named Ashley Davenport is visited by Yama, King of Death
and the Underworld. This encounter prompts him to renounce all his worldly wealth and decide to set out on a Spiritual Path. There’s only one problem. He has absolutely no idea how to do it.
And so Ashley takes the unusual step of checking himself into the exclusive Gethsemane Garden
Village Retirement Home, and declares to the elderly residents, to their puzzled dismay, that he is
done with this Life.
But unfortunately for Ashley, this Life is not quite done with him.
The Elephant In The Room is the latest play from acclaimed writer Peter Hamilton. A masterfully
bittersweet tragi-comedy about embracing life’s possibilities and finding love in unexpected places.
