Synopsis: | The Whale is Concrete Temple Theatre's adaptation of Moby Dick. The play features the often over-looked Sub-Sub-Librarian who plays not only Ishmael and Captain Ahab but Moby Dick himself. Using only his body, voice, and an extraordinary collection of hand-crafted and rigged props to create life on a whale ship and even the great whale himself, Carlo Adinolfi, a dancer and actor by training, puts into service a wide variety of storytelling traditions to tell his tale. The effect of one man trying to embody this enormous literary epic in 65 minutes (using only Melville's text) is simultaneously playful and profound | |||||
