Current Harbor & The Tank presents THE WHALEPHANT
The Whalephant intertwines the story of two Massachusetts men, past and present: Moses Spouter, a famed and possibly unhinged Nantucket whaling captain; and his great-great grandson, Abe Spouter, day-drunk and proud and generally pissed, who captains a whale-watching boat off the coast of Cape Cod. It's a play about history and family, cetaceans and shanties, and the search for self at sea.
