A cast-out and survivor of circus ‘freak shows’, Joseph Merrick navigated a tumultuous existence before a young doctor offered him asylum at the London Hospital in 1879.
Daniel Monks will make his Malthouse debut as Joseph Merrick, recently starring in Pulse – the centrepiece of this year’s Melbourne Queer Film Festival.
Exploring isolation and compassion, The Real and Imagined History of the Elephant Man promises to be a highlight of Malthouse Theatre’s 2017 program.
