Spymonkey Co-Production with The Royal and Derngate, Northampton
Spymonkey’s Moby Dick is a glorious mis-telling of the Herman Melville novel. Four actors find themselves trapped in the belly of a literary monster. Will Ahab’s thirst for revenge be unhinged by the well-meaning but staggeringly inept attentions of his crew? Now that he has found true love, is Ishmael still fated to be the sole survivor of the Pequod? What does a Bavarian cannibal harpooneer eat? And how does a mermaid figurehead get pregnant?
Spymonkey’s award-winning brand of comedy is a 21st Century mix of Monty Python, Marx Brothers and The Goons, overflowing with brilliant characters, visual humour, slapstick comedy and outrageous naughtiness that has delighted audiences around the world.

“Gloriously anarchic, constantly entertaining. Inspired comic misrule. Moby Dick will give you a whale of a time.”
