One Million Elephants

No Name Players presents

One Million Elephants
Written and performed by Robert Isenberg
Directed by Don DiGiulio

Fact: Laos is the most heavily bombed country of all time.

But who bombed them? And why? To answer these questions, writer and actor Robert Isenberg journeyed to Southeast Asia, braving mountain roads, language barriers, and the constant threat of government surveillance. One Million Elephants is the powerful story of secret wars and personal redemption, set against the breathtaking landscape of modern Laos. In the storytelling tradition of Spalding Gray, Isenberg relates his tale with good humor and brutal honesty—and unveils a shocking chapter in American history.

One Million Elephants reunites Isenberg with No Name Players Artistic Director Don DiGiulio after their acclaimed world premiere stage adaptation of The Archipelago: A Balkan Passage last year.
