Outside a sod hut somewhere in the Kansas wilderness, sometime in the 1870s, four diverse pioneer women deal with the harsh realities of living on America's frontier. As each, in her own way, attempts to cope with life on the prairie, they talk of "going to see the elephant" or crossing the next hill to see what they might find there. The result is a powerful and beautiful play entitled GOING TO SEE THE ELEPHANT.
