About this Event
Maybe Dick (Comedy) by John Hewer
MAYBE DICK
By John Hewer
Based on the novel 'Moby-Dick' by Herman Melville
Directed by Bruce Knight
Herman Melville's classic tale of revenge and retribution is retold in this inventive, comic retelling on the high seas from the company behind ‘Just Like That! The Tommy Cooper Show’ and ‘Dracula! One Bloody Fang After Another’.
Nantucket, 1841. Ishmael signs on to the Pequod, and witnesses the perils of nature, obsession, punning and physical comedy, as Captain Ahab conducts a reckless pursuit of the savage white whale, Moby Dick.
All plot will be lampooned. All jokes will be harpooned.
Absolutely brought the house down - Lincolnshire World
'Carry On Moby Dick' - North West End
You will be hit with wave after wave of silliness, leaving a warm glow and a great big smile. - Review Culture
You don't need to know Moby-Dick to get the jokes. And there are plenty of jokes. - Voicebox
This is fun knockabout stuff; we are never more than 30 seconds from the next punchline and Hewer has excellent comic timing and a winning naïveté. - North West End
Hewer manages to play all the parts and maintain narrative coherence along with a stream of jokes and the odd musical interlude. - Chiswick Calendar
The jokes came thick and fast. We left with huge, aching smiles. - TheatreFest
