Dancing on the Elephant
Narrative Feature

Dancing on the Elephant

When Nora arrives at Shady Rest Retirement Home, she struggles to imagine much life left ahead of her. That is, until unfiltered firecracker Edna wheels into her life and reminds her it ain’t over till it’s over. The pair kindle a friendship around a love of Fat Archie's cookies, disdain for “Chair-xercise,” and Edna’s quest to escape the “fox farm.” Edna’s failing memory eventually lands her in the secure memory care wing, leaving Nora to plot one last grand adventure in hopes of reminding her friend there are still elephants left to dance on.
