him. Everyone and anyone who read the book by John Steinbeck would know that all the “crimes” or bad things he has done was unintentional. However the world does not understand this in this point in time. The world back then was more black and white (pun intended) and they believed in a more hardcore law system like “an eye for an eye”. But nowadays we wouldnt have put him to death or even jailed the poor guy. Instead we would've put him in a “hospital” so he can get the help he…

Snow has arrived on the east coast. It’s cold. I’m sitting in my house wearing a snowsuit and drinking hot chocolate. The outside is a mess of fallen branches and frozen roads, and so I can’t replenish my dwindling soup supply. Now would be a great time to get on a plane and fly to California, the land of non-cold.

Hobart Repertory Theatre’s theatrical production of The Elephant Man (by playwright Bernard Pomerance) was a dramatic play shown at the Playhouse Theatre on a traditional proscenium stage. Petr Divis revived the true story of Joseph Merrick, (referred to as John Merrick and played by Jon Lenthall) and joined hands with his performers to display a stellar feat of acting to the public.
