Treves happens upon the freak show and is intrigued by Merrick's disorder. He insists that he must study Merrick further; Ross agrees, for a fee. Ross then gives a lecture on Merrick's anatomy, making Merrick stand on display while Treves describes his condition to the audience. </p><p>The freak show travels to <a href="/wiki/Brussels" title="Brussels">Brussels</a> after being driven out of London by the police. Merrick tries to converse with three freak show "pinheads", or people suffering from <a href="/wiki/Microcephaly" title="Microcephaly">microcephaly</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mental_retardation" class="mw-redirect" title="Mental retardation">mental retardation</a>. The "pinheads" go onstage to sing "We Are the Queens of the Congo", but the police will not allow Merrick to perform, because they consider his condition "indecent". Ross decides that Merrick is more trouble than he is worth, steals his savings, and sends him back to London. </p><p>When Merrick arrives in London, his appearance incites a crowd to riot. The train's conductor and a policeman are able to fetch Treves to calm the situation. Treves takes Merrick to the London Hospital and interviews a woman, Nurse Sandwich, for the position of Merrick's caretaker. Sandwich assures Treves that she has cared for <a href="/wiki/Lepers" class="mw-redirect" title="Lepers">lepers</a> in <a href="/wiki/Africa" title="Africa">Africa</a> and is quite prepared for anything. However, when she sees Merrick taking a bath, she bolts from the room and refuses to take the job. </p><p>Bishop How visits Merrick and declares him a "true <a href="/wiki/Christians" title="Christians">Christian</a> in the rough". He tells Treves he would like to educate Merrick in religion. Carr-Gomm argues with Bishop How about the importance of science versus the importance of religion. Carr-Gomm announces that, due to a letter he had printed in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Times" title="The Times">The Times</a></i>, the people of London have donated enough money to allow Merrick to live at the hospital for life. Treves tells Gomm that he is glad Merrick now has a place where he can stay without being stared at, and is determined that Merrick should lead a normal life. </p><p>When two attendants, Will and Snork, are caught peeking into Merrick's room, Will is fired and Snork is given a severe warning. Treves believes that it is important to enforce these rules, but Merrick worries what will happen to Will and his family. Merrick grew up in the <a href="/wiki/Workhouses" class="mw-redirect" title="Workhouses">workhouses</a>, and wishes that no one had to suffer that fate. Treves says that it is just the way things are. </p><p>John Merrick has a visitor by the name of <a href="/wiki/Madge_Kendal" title="Madge Kendal">Madge Kendal</a>, an actress who came across Carr-Gomm's section in the newspaper. When Mrs. Kendal meets Merrick, she requires all of her self-control in order to disguise her horror at Merrick’s appearance. After several minutes of strained conversation, Merrick mentions he is reading <i><a href="/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet" title="Romeo and Juliet">Romeo and Juliet</a></i>, and Mrs. Kendal shares her experience in the role of Juliet. Merrick amazes Mrs. Kendal with his thoughtful and sensitive views on <a href="/wiki/Romeo_Montague" class="mw-redirect" title="Romeo Montague">Romeo</a> and the nature of love. Mrs. Kendal says that she will bring some of her friends to meet Merrick, then shakes his hand and tells him how truly pleased she is to meet him. Merrick dissolves into tears as Treves tells Mrs. Kendal that it is the first time a woman has ever shaken his hand. </p><p>Mrs. Kendal's <a href="/wiki/High_society_(social_class)" class="mw-redirect" title="High society (social class)">high society</a> friends visit Merrick and bring him gifts while he builds a model of St. Phillip's church with his one good hand. He tells Mrs. Kendal that St. Phillip’s Church is an imitation of grace, and his model is therefore an imitation of an imitation. When Treves comments that all of humanity is a mere illusion of <a href="/wiki/Heaven" title="Heaven">heaven</a>, Merrick says that God should have used both hands. Merrick's new friends—Bishop How, Gomm, the Duchess, Princess Alexandra, Treves, and Mrs. Kendal—all comment upon how, in different ways, they see themselves reflected in him. However, Treves notes that even though Merrick has become popular, his condition is worsening with time. </p><p>Merrick tells Mrs. Kendal that he needs a <a href="/wiki/Mistress_(lover)" title="Mistress (lover)">mistress</a> and suggests that he would like her to do that for him. Mrs. Kendal listens compassionately, but she tells Merrick that it is unlikely that he will ever have a mistress. Merrick admits that he has never even seen a naked woman. Mrs. Kendal is flattered by his show of trust in her, and she realizes that she has come to trust him. She undresses and allows him to see her naked body. Treves enters and is shocked, sending Mrs. Kendal away. </p><p>Ross comes to the hospital to ask Merrick to rejoin the freak show. Ross's health has drastically worsened, and he tells Merrick that without help he is doomed to a painful death. He tries to convince Merrick to charge the society members who visit him. Merrick refuses to help Ross, finally standing up to him after suffering years of abuse at his hands. Ross makes one final pathetic plea to Merrick, who refuses him, saying that's just the way things are. </p><p>Merrick asks Treves what he believes about God and heaven. Then he confronts Treves, criticizing what he did to Mrs. Kendal and the rigid standards by which he judges everybody. Treves realizes that he has been too harsh with Merrick and tells him that although he will write to Mrs. Kendal, he does not believe she will return. After Merrick leaves the room, Treves says that it is because he does not want her to see Merrick die. </p><p>Treves has a nightmare that he has been put on display while Merrick delivers a lecture about his terrifying normality, his rigidity, and the acts of cruelty he can commit upon others "for their own good". </p><p>Carr-Gomm and Treves discuss Merrick's impending death. Treves displays frustration at the fact that the more normal Merrick pretends to be, the worse his condition becomes. He confronts Bishop How, telling him that he believes Merrick’s faith is merely another attempt to emulate others. It comes out that the real source of his frustrations is the chaos of the world around him, with his patients seemingly doing everything they can to shorten their own lives. No matter how hard he tries he cannot help them, just as he cannot help Merrick. He finally begs for the bishop to help him. </p><p>Merrick finishes his model of the church. As usual, he goes to sleep while sitting, a posture which he must adopt due to the weight of his head. As he sleeps he sees visions of the pinheads, now singing that they are the Queens of the Cosmos. They lay him down to sleep normally, and he dies. Snork discovers his body and runs out screaming that the Elephant Man is dead. </p><p>In the final scene, Carr-Gomm reads a letter he has written to <i>The Times</i>, outlining Merrick’s stay at the hospital, his death and his plans for the remaining funds donated for Merrick's care. When he asks Treves if he has anything else to add, a distressed Treves says he does not and leaves. As Carr-Gomm finishes the letter Treves rushes back in, saying that he’s thought of something. Carr-Gomm tells the doctor that it is too late: it is done. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast_-_1979_Broadway_production">Cast - 1979 Broadway production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Elephant_Man_(play)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast - 1979 Broadway production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The cast for the original Broadway production was:<sup id="cite_ref-Bworld1979_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bworld1979-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Philip_Anglim" title="Philip Anglim">Philip Anglim</a> as John Merrick</li> <li>JoAnne Belanger as Orderly (understudy), Princess Alexandra (understudy), Pinhead (understudy), Countess (understudy), Miss Sandwich (understudy)</li> <li>Richard Clarke as Francis Carr-Gomm, Conductor</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kevin_Conway_(actor)" title="Kevin Conway (actor)">Kevin Conway</a> as Frederick Treves, Belgian Policeman</li> <li>Dennis Creaghan as Orderly, London Policeman (understudy), Lord John (understudy), Will (understudy), Earl (understudy), Pinhead Manager (understudy)</li> <li>Michael Goldschlager as Cellist (standby)</li> <li>Cordis Heard as Miss Sandwich, Princess Alexandra, Pinhead, Countess, Mrs. Kendal (understudy)</li> <li>David Heiss as Cellist</li> <li>I.
