Join us for an open rehearsal of The White Whale, a new adaptation of Moby Dick by The Theatre, Chipping Norton in collaboration with Professor Christine Gerrard (English) and supported by the Performance Research Hub.
This version moves away from the ‘sea yarn’ conventions of previous productions and will lean into the text’s radical experimentalism with multiple forms and voices. It will give due weight to Melville’s unprecedented polyvocal representation of a shipboard community of subaltern voices – queer, black, marginalized, enslaved – as a counterweight to monovocal charismatic authoritarian command.
Watch the rehearsal, give feedback and be part of the adaptation process.
