The Elephant Man

Description

City Lights Theater Company presents the 1979 Tony Award-winning play "The Elephant Man" by Bernard Pomerance, directed by Lisa Mallette.

Based on the true story of John Merrick, a young man in Victorian England afflicted with a disfiguring neurological disease, "The Elephant Man" is a testament to the human spirit. Trapped within his body, a scorned and helpless Merrick is taken in by celebrated young physician Frederick Treves, who gives him medical care and introduces him to the pleasures of London society. As he becomes a favorite of the intelligentsia and aristocracy, Merrick’s triumphant redemption teaches that beauty lies within. But is that enough for a man who longs more than anything to be “normal”?
