This review is from: Moby Dick - Rehearsed (Paperback)
I first worked on Moby Dick-Rehearsed as a project at West Virginia University. At the time I was in graduate school and wanted to direct an ensemble piece with potential for creative movement. In MD-R we found that the language, the inherent movement (the storm, chasing the whale)was exactly the sort of "heightened" piece we sought. The play offers a multitude of challenges in characterization, ensemble casting and poetic language/drama. Everything that makes an excellent play is here: conflict, depth of character, environment, clear objectives and definable obstacles. The play is easily cast with women and men, a gender blind jewel. In our production we even cast three actors to play Ahab. (When you read the script it is easy to find out how this can work). Two of the actors were women who played "facets" of Ahab. This is a play that needs more attention. An ensemble production of Moby Dick-Rehearsed is in the planning stages for a New York showcase in January of 1999.
