THE AHAB INSIDE ME—Redux
An Epic Tale of Fishing, Obsession, Addiction, and Recovery.
“The Ahab Inside Me—Redux” is an all NEW blues opera/musical theater production/installation by playwright and experimental theater artist Michael Gorman and his production company The Forty Hour Club.
This epic tale of fishing, obsession, addiction, and recovery, told through music, spoken word, recitative opera, performance, and movement, calls for a reevaluation of Ahab's vengeful attitude toward the White Whale and our own destructive relationship to
nature, the environment, and ourselves.
Building on The Forty Hour Club’s previous work “The Ahab Inside Me”, this new expanded production further explores the themes of addiction, obsession, loss, generational and environmental trauma, as well as recovery, hope, and redemption, and advocates for a new creative approach to addiction through the healing power of art, connection, and community.
With a full blues/rock band and an incredible and talented cast of singers, musicians, and performers, this exciting production will make one last stop in Maine this summer at The Colonial Theater in Augusta before moving on to New Bedford, MA (the home of Moby Dick) and other locations. Not to be missed!
