Moby Dick meets The Perfect Storm in this high-seas adventure about a fishing community’s daunting quest for survival and transformation in the face of the opiate crisis.
The drama unfolds through an aspiring young fisherman’s struggle with addiction; and in a grand delusion, an epic confrontation with Captain Ahab and his obsessive pursuit of Moby Dick
Told through music, spoken word, recitative opera, movement, and spectacle, this epic tale of fishing, obsession, addiction and recovery calls for a reevaluation of Ahab’s vengeful attitude toward the White Whale and our own destructive relationship to nature, the environment and ourselves.
Featuring a live blues band, and diverse cast of singers, musicians, actors and performers from New England, New York City, and Los Angeles, this exciting new expanded production is not to be missed before it sets sail for the deep waters of historic New Bedford, MA—home of Moby Dick—and its final destination of New York City. Not to be missed!
The Ahab Inside Me—Redux runs July 20-23, (2023) at the historic Colonial Theater in Augusta, Maine.
Presented by The Forty Hour Club, a resident theater company of the famed La MaMa Theater in New York City.
