Bowie The Elephant
October 1980: Rock singer David Bowie takes a break from his current project; playing the title role in a broadway play based on the life of John Merrick, the hideously deformed ' Elephant Man'. Bowie uses mime to convey the character's deformity, rather than relying on elaborate make-up. The play has opened to critical acclaim, with Bowie's performance in particular receiving praise.
