Beautiful, brilliant and moving, The Elephant Man play by Bernard Pomerance is a sensitive look into John Merrick's mind, what his thoughts and feelings might have been. A man trapped in a hideously deformed body, he never showed his anger or despair to others, only his doctor starts to understand the man behind the mask.

Because I couldn't find a way to steal away from work to go see Bradley Cooper act in this play, I bought a copy to read in the hopes I could just imagine how he might translate the role of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man whose undiagnosed medical condition disfigured his face and body so horribly. I am left still feeling the need to see it on the stage.

The Elephant Man was a moving play which featured a young man going through a problem that no one could understand. He faces a disease that leaves his body disfigured and his face -- beyond hideous. This true story captures the love in which he receives -- the love that he never thought would come to him -- once he is taken under the treatment of a young doctor.

The Elephant Man is based on a powerful tale about Joseph Carey Merrick, with the help of a famous surgeon John regains his dignity after years of being a side-show freak. Although I have not read this play by Bernard Pomerance I had the pleasure of seeing this rendition at a local theatrical playhouse. A true story about being different, seeing beauty within people and finding happiness when everything around is grim. Heartwrenching!

Before my last year's trip to London, I somehow failed to check the theater schedule, and on a bus tour I had an incredible sinking feeling when I spotted the theater with The Elephant Man sign. That feeling worsened when after the tour I checked the show dates at a ticket booth and noticed the play had closed just on the previous day.

This is a great script that leads to a very powerful production on-stage. Having worked with the script (playing the character of Frederick Treves), I found that the language and stage direction easily led to the development of the character - as well as to a finished play that affected the audience and transmitted the messages of the play to the audience.

Last year, I finally watched the David Lynch film; and as I did with a few other movies last year, thought I would also read the book. However, then I learned that the play had no connection with Lynch's film other than the subject matter, so I put it off. Of course, since the play and the film are based on a real person, the structures of both are similar enough that I could have followed up one with the other.. Hindsight.

Moving, heartbreaking, inspirational and a lovely, lovely read! Beautifully written as well. I have never been so engaged with a script as much as I was with The Elephant Man. This story is about Joseph Merrick, an individual with hideous deformities who's been dubbed by his 'owner' Freddie Jones, a freak show organizer that dehumanizes and uses Merrick merely as a source of income. Merrick gets rescued by Dr. Frederick Treves, a surgeon who helps him escape the freak show and Jones. This story..more

A disfigured English man from the late 1800's is sheltered by a doctor who discovers him trying to make money as a freak show attraction. Society embraces him and he becomes a chance for people to reflect on their own lives.
A short play on a fairly well-known topic, I liked the insights that people derived from the interaction with the protagonist. The issue of how and who 'views' the oddity runs throughout and makes for a thoughtful experience.

A great play. This one comes down to how well it is performed. The play itself is wonderfully written, but leaves a lot of room for directors input. With the right director and cast, this is a moving play on all levels.
Points beautifully to the fact that every one of us is human beneath our skin.

I remember seeing this movie as a kid when my family were able to afford premium channels on cable. In it, John Merrick, played by John Hurt, depicted a man whose disfigured looks made him a pariah in English society, so much so that he ends up working as a local side-show freak.

What is amazing about this play is that is is completely unsensationalistic. The playwright specifies that the role of Merrick should be played without any prostheses, stating that the use of such would be distracting to the action and intent of the play.
So, what is this play? It is an exploration of Victorian England and the mores of the time. It is an exploration of sensationalism. It demonstrates the ways we use other people, especially famous or infamous people, as our mirrors, ascribing cha..more

Is reading a play cheating for the reading challenge? Yeah, well sue me.
The David Lynch cinematic adaptation of this play is great but the play shows us the 'deformities' of others, not just the grotesque John Merrick. It must be read carefully and is totally worth a reread. I'd be willing to see a production of this, especially since I have always been fascinated by stories of outcasts and freaks.

An enjoyable read with some scorching lines. The pacing was awkward and a bit unclear with Merrick's life in the hospital. The idea that the hospital's sanitizing of Merrick didn't allow him the authentic human experience was saddening. Merrick was so hopeful at the beginning of his stay too, with his ideas about Romeo and Juliet and his naïvete. It's a quick read.
A really interesting play! It asks what is normal, how are all of us grotesque, how do we use/abuse other people, how do we all make compromises in order to live in society, etc.
I'll need to read it a few more times to wrap my head around it all, but one reading was all it took to make me decide to teach this play next year in AP Lit. My students can help me figure it all out!

The dialogue and implications are important and influential in this play that I only had the pleasure to read and not see. So much can be said or not said in words and Pomerance uses each word with care and purpose. About the treatment and idea of the Other.
Emotional. Thoughtful.

(Read when Ryan visited), easy to read play that still sparked many questions. The characters were distinctive, while working collectively to unfold the story of a man ostracized dude to ridiculous societal expectations of beauty.

Plot[edit]
The Elephant Man opens with Frederick Treves, an up-and-coming surgeon, meeting his new employer Francis Carr-Gomm, the administrator of the London Hospital.
Ross, the manager of a freak show, invites a crowd on Whitechapel Road to come view John Merrick, the Elephant Man. Treves happens upon the freak show and is intrigued by Merrick's disorder. He insists that he must study Merrick further; Ross agrees, for a fee. Ross then gives a lecture on Merrick's anatomy, making Merrick stand on display while Treves describes his condition to the audience.
The freak show travels to Brussels after being driven out of London by the police. Merrick tries to converse with three freak show 'pinheads', or people suffering from microcephaly and mental retardation. The 'pinheads' go onstage to sing 'We Are the Queens of the Congo', but the police will not allow Merrick to perform, because they consider his condition 'indecent'. Ross decides that Merrick is more trouble than he is worth, steals his savings, and sends him back to London.
When Merrick arrives in London, his appearance incites a crowd to riot. The train's conductor and a policeman are able to fetch Treves to calm the situation. Treves takes Merrick to the London Hospital and interviews a woman, Nurse Sandwich, for the position of Merrick's caretaker. Sandwich assures Treves that she has cared for lepers in Africa and is quite prepared for anything. However, when she sees Merrick taking a bath, she bolts from the room and refuses to take the job.
Bishop How visits Merrick and declares him a 'true Christian in the rough'. He tells Treves he would like to educate Merrick in religion. Carr-Gomm argues with Bishop How about the importance of science versus the importance of religion. Carr-Gomm announces that, due to a letter he had printed in The Times, the people of London have donated enough money to allow Merrick to live at the hospital for life. Treves tells Gomm that he is glad Merrick now has a place where he can stay without being stared at, and is determined that Merrick should lead a normal life.
When two attendants, Will and Snork, are caught peeking into Merrick's room, Will is fired and Snork is given a severe warning. Treves believes that it is important to enforce these rules, but Merrick worries what will happen to Will and his family. Merrick grew up in the workhouses, and wishes that no one had to suffer that fate. Treves says that it is just the way things are.
John Merrick has a visitor by the name of Madge Kendal, an actress who came across Carr-Gromm's section in the newspaper. When Mrs. Kendal meets Merrick, she requires all of her self-control in order to disguise her horror at Merrick’s appearance. After several minutes of strained conversation. Mrs. Kendal mentions Romeo and Juliet. Merrick amazes Mrs. Kendal with his thoughtful and sensitive views on Romeo and the nature of love. Mrs. Kendal says that she will bring some of her friends to meet Merrick, then shakes his hand and tells him how truly pleased she is to meet him. Merrick dissolves into tears as Treves tells Mrs. Kendal that it is the first time a woman has ever shaken his hand.
Mrs. Kendal's high society friends visit Merrick and bring him gifts while he builds a model of St. Phillip's church, having to work with his one good hand. He tells Mrs. Kendal that St. Phillip’s Church is an imitation of grace, and his model is therefore an imitation of an imitation. When Treves comments that all of humanity is a mere illusion of heaven, Merrick says that God should have used both hands. Merrick's new friends—Bishop How, Gomm, the Duchess, Princess Alexandra, Treves, and Mrs. Kendal—all comment upon how, in different ways, they see themselves reflected in him. However, Treves notes that Merrick’s condition is worsening with time.
Merrick tells Mrs. Kendal that he needs a mistress and suggests that he would like her to do that for him. Mrs. Kendal listens compassionately, but she tells Merrick that it is unlikely that he will ever have a mistress. Merrick admits that he has never even seen a naked woman. Mrs. Kendal is flattered by his show of trust in her, and she realizes that she has come to trust him. She undresses and allows him to see her naked body. Treves enters and is shocked, sending Mrs. Kendal away.
Ross comes to the hospital to ask Merrick to rejoin the freak show. Ross's health has drastically worsened, and he tells Merrick that without help he is doomed to a painful death. He tries to convince Merrick to charge the society members who visit him. Merrick refuses to help Ross, finally standing up to him after suffering years of abuse at his hands. Ross makes one final pathetic plea to Merrick, who refuses him, saying that's just the way things are.
Merrick asks Treves what he believes about God and heaven. Then he confronts Treves, criticizing what he did to Mrs. Kendal and the rigid standards by which he judges everybody. Treves realizes that he has been too harsh with Merrick and tells him that although he will write to Mrs. Kendal, he does not believe she will return. After Merrick leaves the room, Treves says that it is because he does not want her to see Merrick die.
Treves has a nightmare that he has been put on display while Merrick delivers a lecture about his terrifying normality, his rigidity, and the acts of cruelty he can commit upon others 'for their own good'.
Carr-Gomm and Treves discuss Merrick's impending death. Treves displays frustration at the fact that the more normal Merrick pretends to be, the worse his condition becomes. He confronts Bishop How, telling him that he believes Merrick’s faith is merely another attempt to emulate others. It comes out that the real source of his frustrations is the chaos of the world around him, with his patients seemingly doing everything they can to shorten their own lives. No matter how hard he tries he cannot help them, just as he cannot help Merrick. He finally begs for the bishop to help him.
Merrick finishes his model of the church. As usual, he goes to sleep while sitting, a posture which he must adopt due to the weight of his head. As he sleeps he sees visions of the pinheads, now singing that they are the Queens of the Cosmos. They lay him down to sleep normally, and he dies. Snork discovers his body and runs out screaming that the Elephant Man is dead.
In the final scene, Carr-Gomm reads a letter he has written to The Times, outlining Merrick’s stay at the hospital, his death and his plans for the remaining funds donated for Merrick's care. When he asks Treves if he has anything else to add, a distressed Treves says he does not and leaves. As Carr-Gomm finishes the letter Treves rushes back in, saying that he’s thought of something. Carr-Gomm tells the doctor that it is too late: it is done.
