THE ELEPHANT MAN
By Bernard Pomerance
Directed by Nathan Shelton

Tony Award-Winner for Best Play. A horribly deformed young man – victim of rare skin and bone diseases – John Merrick becomes the star freak attraction in traveling sideshows. 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. Springfield Area Premiere.
