In a glorious mis-telling of Herman Melville's classic, four actors find themselves trapped inside the belly of a literary monster. As they contemplate their fate they recount the story of Moby Dick, updating the novel's epic examination of good, evil, fate and obsession with more profound considerations, such as whether a mermaid figurehead can get pregnant or what a cannibal harpooner from Bavaria eats.
In the latest of four internationally acclaimed and award-winning productions, which have left audiences in over 20 countries weeping with laughter, and garnered undiluted comparisons with the likes of Monty Python, the Marx Brothers, the Goons and the Carry On films, Spymonkey is throwing its high octane, explosively surreal bag of tricks into the hold and setting sail on an Autumn tour.
Once again, this hugely skilled quartet of performers will be blurring the boundaries between comic styles with side-splitting results. Throw in some hilariously inventive musical numbers, the odd horn-pipe dance, some fantastical costumes and batten down the hatches for a delightfully anarchic voyage into lunacy. Thar she blows!
Spymonkey's Moby Dick UK tour begins 18th September and runs through to 7th November 2009.
