About the play, from the programme:-
Michael Geen's and Michael Langridges dramatisation of one of America's finest epic romances of the sea is achieved with consumate skill and economy. In the space of much less than an hour the tragic story unfolds of the vengeful quest for the redoubtable Moby Dick by Captain Aham, across three-quarters of the globe and the final triumph of the prodigious terror-whale of the Pacific.
Moby Dick is deservedly absolved of mortality. We can but dream that the hero still swims the world unconquered - that he is ubiquitous in time and space. There is madness and strangeness in this memorable adaptation and the impact on the imagination is unforgettable
