Pittsburgh City Paper: In 1981, a young Mark Hamill took the title role of The Elephant Man, by Bernard Pomerance. Hamill was a Star Wars superstar, recognized everywhere as the original Jedi. What would compel Tatooine's finest to play a monstrous, slurring, slobbering sideshow freak? Why would a boyish celebrity trifle with the stage, much less a sad little drama about a Victorian cripple with a giant, disgusting head?
