The Elephant Man

Winner of the Tony award for Best Play, The Elephant Man is the profound and touching true story of John Merrick, a man hideously deformed since birth. Under the care of a brilliant and ambitious young doctor, Merrick transforms from a sensational object of pity to a sensitive and intelligent man. Those around him come to know his beautiful spirit within, and in the process, discover their own hidden flaws. The Elephant Man questions the ideas of perception and what it means to be truly beautiful.
