The Tony award-winning drama THE ELEPHANT MAN comes to PACT Centre for Emerging Artists for a limited season this August (5 performances only).

Set in Victorian England, "The Elephant Man" tells the tale of John Merrick, a hideously deformed man with a soul of perfection. Born with a genetic disorder, which made his head, right arm and right leg grossly large, his skin loose and smelly, he is ridiculed by all and left to languish in a freak show. 

Merrick is saved by Frederick Treves, a well-meaning doctor, who gives him refuge in a London hospital, where he lives out his life and is befriended by London's glitterati who are drawn to his sweet disposition and intelligent mind.

The production is directed by Debbie Smith and featuring Harley Connor as John Merrick ,”The Elephant Man”, and Nicholas Gledhill as Dr Frederick Treves.

THE ELEPHANT MAN [Facebook]  from Exit Game Productions will play at PACT August 22 – 25. Bookings at Trybooking.
