About this event
Outcry Youth Theatre presents
The Real & Imagined History of the Elephant Man
by Tom Wright
Arriving from his East Midlands beginnings into a London thick with the grime of industrialization, Joseph Merrick is an anomaly. In a city of factories that churn out uniformity, there is no place for someone like him.
But Merrick and the city are evolving into something new. We follow him through the workhouse, the freak show and the hospital, as he searches for acceptance in a society that just wants to stare at him.
Powerful, angry and surprising, Tom Wright's acclaimed play imagines an alternative history of the person who came to be known as "the Elephant Man." It restores Joseph Merrick to the centre o f his own story: a man fighting for his right to be and to belong.
In addition to Merrick, it also features an incredible cast of mostly female characters in Joseph's life - including a Ringmaster, a famous actres s, and a dying woman, amongst many others.
