Rhodes College

Founded in 1848, Rhodes seeks to graduate students with a lifelong passion for learning. Additionally, the college's Center for the Outreach in the Development of the Arts challenges all Rhodes students to view themselves as potential arts leaders in the Memphis community through its advocacy of the aesthetic principles and professional practices by which the arts invigorate culture and enlighten lives. Visit the Clough Hanson Gallery and McCoy Theatre, or attend one of the Music Department's many concert events. Gallery hours for Clough-Hanson are Tuesdays through Saturdays, 11:30-5:00 p.m. The gallery is closed Sundays and Mondays. Admission to the gallery and lectures is always free to the public.

      Theatre-goers love a good freak show. From Phantom of the Opera to Beauty and the Beast to The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the story of the misunderstood oddity could almost be its own genre. Though The Elephant Man follows this tradition, it is not simply a rehashing of the story of the reclusive tortured protagonist and his true love. It is more of a tale of despair and self-loathing than its counterparts in the genre. This may be why there is yet to be a Disney rendition. In a bare-bones version of the play running at the McCoy Theatre there is little in the way of make-up and special effects, but it is not needed. The brilliant acting of Ed Porter as Merrick (the Elephant Man) --- contorting his body and face without the use of prosthetics makes the play believable and quite sad. The intimacy of the McCoy paired with the great performances of Rhodes' young actors make The Elephant Man a great experience. Collapse

      Although very little is left of the original play, this adaptation is extremely well done. There is rather a lot of shouting, but the funny parts are hilarious, the serious parts are absorbing and thoughtful, and the music is wonderful. I don't know that I agree with the writer/director's conclusion that his play is really about the fulfillment of human potential, but I'm not sure it matters -- there's a real banquet in this play, when it comes to food for thought.
