Performance: The Elephant Man

The Tony Award-winning The Elephant Man is based on the life of John Merrick, a horribly deformed young man, victim of rare skin and bone diseases, who has become the star freak attraction in traveling side shows. Found abandoned and helpless, he is admitted to London’s prestigious Whitechapel hospital. Under the care of celebrated young physician Frederick Treves, Merrick is introduced to London society and slowly evolves from an object of pity to an urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati only to be denied his ultimate dream, to become a man like any other.
