Based on the life of John Merrick, a horribly deformed young man, victim of rare skin and bone diseases, he has become the star freak attraction in traveling side shows. Under the care of celebrated young physician Frederick Treves, Merrick is introduced to London society and slowly evolves from an object of pity to an urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati only to be denied his ultimate dream, to become a man like any other. Company member Glendele Way-Agle has previously directed Waiting for Godot, Bat Boy: The Musical and her own adaptation of Lysistrata.
