SWASHBUCKLING NEW ADAPTATION OF MELVILLE’S CLASSIC ADVENTURE 

With sea shanties played live on stage 

   “There she blows!” 

   October, 1839. The Pequod is due to sail out of Nantucket and her skipper, one Captain Ahab, is in need of a crew. Seeking fortune and adventure, a humble schoolmaster named Ishmael ships aboard, joining a company charged with one task: to wreak revenge on the white whale that lost Ahab his leg – the infamous Moby-Dick.  

   Melville's wild seafaring adventure will be brought vividly to life by the award-winning Simple8, in a fun, fast and joyous production that transports you right to the heart of the hunt for the most famous whale on earth
