Moby Dick at Brighton Open Air theatre

One Man. One Whale. Guided by the Fates. Driven by Obsession.

Nantucket, 1839. The ‘Pequod’ embarks on a fateful voyage under the formidable Captain Ahab, a man consumed by his quest for vengeance against the White Whale who tore off his leg. Through the eyes of our narrator, Ishmael, we join the ship’s diverse crew as they plunge into perilous waters, relentlessly chasing the infamous Moby Dick, brought to life through our female chorus The Furies.

Blending puppetry, live music and dynamic physical theatre, this gripping production explores timeless themes of trauma, obsession and prejudice, examining humanity’s fraught relationship with nature, and transforming Melville’s epic into a visceral theatrical experience.
