About the Production:
The product of a six-year developmental journey deep into the heart of the opiate crisis in the commercial fishing community of New England, The Moby Dick Blues is a fully realized, immersive theatrical experience featuring a live blues band, 14 original songs, spoken word, movement and spectacle.
Synopsis:
Moby Dick Meets The Perfect Storm in this inspirational tale of a fishing community’s daunting quest for survival and transformation in the face of the opiate crisis, and an epic confrontation with Captain Ahab and his destructive pursuit of Moby Dick.
THE MOBY DICK BLUES calls for a reevaluation of Ahab’s vengeful obsession with the White Whale, and our own destructive attitude to nature, the environment, and ourselves.
