An ingenious idea is employed to accommodate the sweep of this classic story on the stage. A Shakespearean company puts down their rehearsal sides of Lear and curiously take up those of a new play entitled Moby Dick. On the rehearsal stage of platforms, the teasers overhead suddenly become yardarms with sails and a tall ladder becomes a mast. The platforms become the decks of the ship on which the cast sails through the storms and tribulations of the Pequod hunting for Moby Dick.

Admirably bold and imaginative.

An adventure in theatre going. As I left the first performance I felt myself rather oddly shaky and breathless.... There is nothing else anywhere near like Moby Dick in the theatre.
