Chase the White Whale with Captain Ahab!
After losing his leg in pursuit of the devilish white whale Moby Dick, Captain Ahab vows vengeance at all costs, but to what lengths will he turn to seek that vengeance——and at what cost to his crew? Created by one of Chicago's most innovative theatre groups, and originally broadcast live across 5,500 miles, A Theater in the Dark invites you to turn off your screen and crank up your speakers as you come with us into the dark… In this 75-minute audio adventure, A Theater in the Dark cooks up with signature style its adaptation of Herman Melville's MOBY DICK. The original production was hailed as "brilliantly adapted" (Around the Town Chicago) with "some of the best, most evocative writing I've heard from a theater this year" (Chicago Sun-Times), "wonderful versatile performances" (WDCB Radio), and a "haunting" (Buzz Center Stage) original score.
A WHITE WHALE, OR: MOBY DICK is audio theatre, performed entirely without visuals; combining the human voice, recorded sound, live Foley effects, and an original musical score, to tell the story.
