Produktinformationen zu „Elephant Man (ePub)“
"An enthralling and luminous play" about the nineteenth-century man whose physical deformity doomed him to the life of an outcast: "haunting [and] splendid" (The New York Times).
The Elephant Man is based on the life of John Merrick, who lived in London during the latter part of the nineteenth century. A horribly deformed young man, a freak attraction in traveling side shows, is found abandoned and helpless and is admitted for observation to Whitechapel, a prestigious London hospital.
Under the care of a famous young doctor who educates him and introduces him to London society, Merrick changes from a sensational object of pity to the urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati. But his belief that he can become a man like any other is a dream never to be realized.
After premiering in London, The Elephant Man went on to Broadway where it won the Tony for Best Play in 1979. It was later revived in a Broadway production starring Bradley Cooper.
"TheElephant Man is a moving drama. Lofted on poetic wings, it nests on the human heart." -Time Magazine
