Weaving Woolly Mammoths is a full-length play. The theme of weaving runs through ten scenes in different times, places, and situations. Like weaving itself, there is different coloration (comedy, tragedy), depiction (characters), and texture to each piece. The play can be performed with a minimum cast of seven actors (with doubling)—five women and two men.  Sets can be as minimal as desired.
