By Orson WellesAdapted from Herman Melville
An ingenious idea is employed to accommodate the sweep of this classic story on the stage. The members of a Shakespearean company put 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 as they hunt for Moby Dick.
