SEASON 14 ARCHIVE | July 2001
Moby Dick
adaptation by Kirk Smith | Presented by VORTEX Summer
Youth Theatre 2001
Winner of 4 B. Iden Payne Awards: Outstanding
Production of a Play for Youth; Nominated for 4 additional B. Iden
Payne Awards.
This precise and highly theatrical take on Melville's classic American
novel unfolds through flashbacks, dialogue, movement and music.
Detailing the relentless pursuit of the vulgar, vicious, and possibly
supernatural white whale, the adaptation remains devoted to the
language and the spirit of the original, effectively communicating
the feel of life at sea, the danger of it, the feverish pursuit
and foreboding it occasions, and the roles played by destiny and
death.
In Kirk Smith's adaptation
of Melville's masterwork, language comes at us in great waves, and
the language here is powerful.”
-The Austin Chronicle
