On stage October 10 – 26: The Tony Award-winning play THE ELEPHANT MAN is based on the remarkable life of John Merrick (Zach Flock), 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 (Howard Lang), 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.
