The Elephant Man - 15 Performances

Salem Theatre Company presents Bernard Pomerance’s The Elephant Man for 15 performances  January 23 – February 15 under the direction of Artistic Director John
Fogle.  This Tony Award winner for Best
Play tells the powerful story of John Merrick, who despite severe deformities
for a short time dazzled Victorian London’s elite.  Found abandoned and helpless by Dr. Frederick
Treves of the London Hospital, Merrick is admitted and under Treves' care is introduced
to London society, evolving from an object of pity to an urbane and witty
favorite of the aristocracy and literati.

Marc St. Pierre of Gloucester portrays Merrick and Joseph
O’Meara of Boston portrays Dr. Frederick Treves, the man who saved him. Other
cast members include Linda Goetz, Jeffrey Phillips, Brian Casey, Chris Clark,
Gale Argentine, Audrey Claire Johnson, and Gary LaParl.
