Moby Dick

Adaptation by Kirk Smith

This precise and highly theatrical take on Melville's classic American novel unfolds through flashbacks, dialogue, movement and music. Detailing the relentless pursuit of the vulgar, vicious, and possibly supernatural white whale, the adaptation remains devoted to the language and the spirit of the original, effectively communicating the feel of life at sea, the danger of it, the feverish pursuit and foreboding it occasions, and the roles played by destiny and death.
