The moving tale of John Merrick, a passionate, artistic soul trapped in a body hideously disfigured by a horrifying rare disease. Named the "Elephant Man" in a touring freak show, he is rescued by a renowned surgeon and becomes the unlikely toast of London society.  A poignant look at disability, intolerance, and the gift of kindness, this Tony award winning play retains its power to shake us to our depths.
