The Elephant Man

The life of John Merrick in the 1860's in London UK. John was born with a condition wherein his face, arm and leg were deformed, causing him to be labeled "The Elephant Man" and displayed in local carnival shows and "freak shows" of the day. John was taken to the London Hospital, where he spent the end of his life in, to see if they could find a "cure" for his condition. This play examines John's life and interactions with those he came into contact with during his tragic life.
