MAYBE DICK By John Hewer | Based on the novel 'Moby-Dick' by Herman Melville | Directed by Bruce Knight

Step aboard the historic Light Vessel 21 in Gravesend riverfront to experience Herman Melville's classic tale of revenge and retribution retold in this inventive, comedic adventure on the high sea.

Nantucket, 1841. Ishmael signs on to the Pequod, and witnesses the perils of nature, obsession, punning and physical comedy, as Captain Ahab conducts a reckless pursuit of the savage white whale, Moby Dick.

All plot will be lampooned! All jokes will be harpooned!

"You don't need to know Moby-Dick to get the jokes. And there are plenty of jokes." - Voicebox

"This is fun knockabout stuff; we are never more than 30 seconds from the next punchline and Hewer has excellent comic timing and a winning naïveté." - North West End

"Hewer manages to play all the parts and maintain narrative coherence along with a stream of jokes and the odd musical interlude." - Chiswick Calendar

"The jokes came thick and fast. We left with huge, aching smiles." - TheatreFest
