It's true. It's all true for Moby-Dick. He's a killer, he's a fury,
he's an angel of hell. Why if the white whale could talk he'd talk
like Ahab.' Nantucket. 1851. Centre of a whaling industry that
transformed blubber into the oils and candles that lit the world.
It's there that a schoolmaster called Ishmael arrives to ship on a
whale-boat. He enrols under Ahab, Captain of the Pequod a man bent
on destroying the white whale that lost him his leg. Certain the
destruction of his nemesis will slake his thirst; Ahab's
single-minded pursuit of Moby-Dick consumes Ishmael, the crew and
the Pequod itself. The spirit and atmosphere of Herman Melville's
masterpiece romantic, ambiguous, characterful and rich with
allegory is captured on stage by simple8 with 'a treasure chest of
talented actors, impressive musicians and intelligent scripting and
directing' - New Statesman.
