| Summary | Originally written as part of 'Man Equals Man', 'The Elephant Calf' was later removed and redrawn as a play in its own right, to be performed as an interlude in the foyer during performances of the former play. It sees the protagonist of the earlier play undergo a trial for the murder of his mother. The play's farcical denouement is critiqued by 'audience members' - in fact, part of the cast - who storm the stage and insist on having their money back, with the threat of menaces to come if the cast don't accede. |
