The Elephant Man - Dayton Theatre Guild
March 17 – April 2, 2017
Bernard Pomerance’s Tony Award-winning classic, The Elephant Man, is based on the real life of Joseph Merrick, an afflicted 19th century British man who became a star of the traveling freak show circuit. When the renowned Dr. Treves takes Merrick under his care at the London Hospital, he is astonished by Merrick’s brilliant intelligence and unshakable faith. Treves introduces Merrick to the beautiful actress, Mrs. Kendall, who is struck by his loneliness and understanding. Soon all of Victorian high society becomes fascinated by Merrick. But with Merrick’s new life comes new complexity for all involved, and a “normal” existence begins to seem all but impossible.
