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

Featuring: Elizabeth Doss as ISHMAEL, Zach Pettichord as STARBUCK, Stewart Johnson as AHAB

Written by Kirk Smith, Directed by Bonnie Cullum, Set Design by Ann Marie Gordon , Soundscapes by Chad Salvata
