The Elephant Man
In February we continue our semi-annual classical series with Bernard Pomerance’s play The Elephant Man. Based on the true story of David Merrick, a man so deformed that medical science still has not clearly identifies all his maladies, The Elephant Man takes us into Merrick’s world. From his horrible beginnings as a side-show freak to his discovery by a doctor who made Merrick his life’s work, Merrick’s journey is an uplifting story about the human spirit and how it is often found in the most unlikely of places.
