Excellent- More about The Real & Imagined History of the Elephant Man
Based on the life of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man is a play by Tom Wright that explores his journey of acceptance in a society that stares at him. It was first performed at Melbourne's Malthouse Theatre and received its European premiere at Nottingham Playhouse in 2023.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 72 pages
Publication date: 21 September 2023
Publisher: Nick Hern Books
Arriving from his humble beginnings in the East Midlands to the bustling metropolis of London, Joseph Merrick stands as a remarkable anomaly within a city renowned for its uniformity and industrialization. In a society where factories churn out conformity, there seems to be no place for someone as unique as him. However, Merrick and the city are undergoing a transformative process. We embark on a journey alongside him, witnessing his experiences in the workhouse, the freak show, and the hospital as he desperately seeks acceptance in a society that merely desires to gawk at him.
Tom Wright's acclaimed play presents an alternative narrative of the man who became famously known as the Elephant Man. It reclaims Joseph Merrick's rightful place at the center of his own story, portraying him as a man fighting for his right to exist and to belong.
The Real & Imagined History of the Elephant Man was initially showcased at Melbourne's Malthouse Theatre, before making its European debut at Nottingham Playhouse in 2023, under the direction of Stephen Bailey, with support from a grant provided by The Royal Theatrical Support Trust.
