The Acting Company: Moby Dick Rehearsed March 25, 2008

'Moby Dick Rehearsed' is Orson Welles' stage adaptation of the classic novel by Herman Melville. Welles drew a parallel between King Lear and Captain Ahad and set the action around a troupe of actors that abandons rehearsal of 'King Lear' to re-create another, unforgiving, vengeance-obsessed character of the same emotional stripe - Captain Ahab.
