AddressThe Rechabites Hall - 224 William Street Northbridge
The extraordinary true story of John Merrick, a young man in Victorian England who suffered from an incredibly rare and hideously deforming disease that would have condemned him to a life of misery in circus freak-shows, were it not for the intervention of London physician Frederick Treves.

Merrick is discovered to be an artiuclate and respectful young man, utterly devoid of bitterness or cynicism. With Treves' help, he becomes - for a time - the most unlikely member of London society.
