Date: Ongoing from July 17, 2014 through August 10, 2014. See details for exact dates and times.
Location: Pigott Theater in Memorial Auditorium
Stanford Repertory Theater’s 2014 Orson Welles Festival features a production of Moby Dick – Rehearsed, Welles’ extraordinary blank-verse adaptation of Melville’s masterpiece. A stunning invocation of the sea, the hunt, the infectious mania of Captain Ahab, and the collective energy of live performance, Moby Dick – Rehearsed harnesses the power of the theater to turn shadow into substance and imagination into reality. We are thrilled to have Bay Area treasure Rod Gnapp take on the role of Ahab, joining SRT’s acting ensemble that includes Peter Ruocco (Wanderings of Odysseus), Courtney Walsh (Happy Days), and David Raymond (Importance of Being Earnest). The original score by New York composer Michael Keck (our 2009 ElectraFestival) mixes Puritan hymns, sea chanties, and the haunting songs of the humpback whale. Stanford Rep brings Moby Dick – Rehearsed to its theatrical life in a highly physical, deeply engaging, Melville and Welles-worthy production!
