'When Dr. Frederick Treves introduces
the elephant man,th.e audience sees a good
looking man dressed" only in a 'white
loincloth. As Treves points to slides of
the real elephant man, the actor who will
play John Merrick slowly contorts his
body to suggest the deformed creature.
This transformation allows the audience
to use its imagination and is an amazing
theatrical moment. Because the play
deals with Merrick's mind and not his
body, it is fitting that there is no actual
manifestation of the deformities.
The story begins as the elephant man
is left to die by Ross, the man who has
been exhibiting him in freak shows.
Merrick is rescued by Treves, then a
newly appointed doctor at the London
Hospital. What follows is an attempt by
Treves, and ultimately society, to mold
Merrick into the cultured, respectable
person he thinks Merrick should
become.
Treves seeks the aid of an actress,
Mrs. Kendal, so that Merrick can relate
to a woman who is not appalled by his
appearance. Mrs. Kendal introduces
Merrick to the pleasures of both society
and women. .
Merrick also is introduced to Bishop
How, a clergyman who sees the elephant
m:n as a symbol of the internal struggle
common to a man who is seeking
oneness with God. Princess Alexandra,
Lord John and Carr Gcmrn also become
patrons of Merrick. At one point each of
the characters in the play voices a belief
that Merrick embodies the perfection
they admire most. This allows ; the
audience to see how the other characters
are molding the elephant man.
As, the elephant man becomes more
and more human, he loses part of
"himself in the process. Because of the
enormous weight of his head, he has to
sleep sitting up. When Merrick tries to
sleep like normal people and lie down,
the weight of his head cuts off his
breathing.
Courtney Burr is excellent in the title
role; he captures the humor and the
pathos inherent in the part, yet he never
becomes overly melodramatic. Joan
Grant as Mrs. Kendal has the' proper
amount of personality to play a
believable actress. She successfully meets
the challenge- of portraying a surface
character who eventually allows her true
self to be revealed.
; As Frederick Treves, Kenneth Garner,
jives an admirable performance,' yet he
never fully captures the Victorian
priggishness portrayed so well by Kevin
"Conway in the original Broadway
production.
Music, lighting "and the set design
combine to provide an appropriate
mood and atmosphere for the drama
that unfolds. Cellist Larry j. Rawdcn
ably plays his pieces so that they remain
unobtrusive and yet considerably aid the
performance. The lighting ranges from
purely theatrical effects to very subtle:
changes. And the lighting becomes;
important because the setting never
changes. Instead, a curtain or a set piece
suggests the locale. This is particularly
effective because of the psychological
nature of the play.
Brent Peek's direction skillfully
complements Bernard Pomerance's
play. The symbolism and the character
relationships are brought to life by
Peek's tight direction.
