Public Policy and Health Care
as a Fundamental Right in an Advanced Democracy

“This revival resonates today,” says Artistic Director Jim Petosa “because the play raises larger issues about the human need for and right to basic health care. The character Dr. Frederick Treves ends up doing precious little for Merrick (the elephant man) or the further great masses of human suffering. Today, congress attempts to repeal Obamacare–we still face the dilemma of determining who deserves healthcare and at which level. Is it a privilege of economic success? Is it a basic human right? We’re still asking.”
