Cast set sail on the Mersey in search of a literary monster

THE cast of Spymonkey’s Moby Dick set off on the Mersey ferry yesterday in search of the literary monster.

They were joined on their quest by members of the Go Penguins! colony who were protecting them from whales.

The event provided an opportunity for people to see first hand the comical and anarchic style of the Spymonkey team who were in full costume. Spymonkey will arrive at the Liverpool Playhouse for the first time, in a co-production with Royal & Derngate Northampton, to present their glorious mis-telling of the classic Herman Melville Novel Moby Dick from tomorrow to Saturday, October 24, and will be joined by local choir The Capriccio Singers.

Four actors find themselves trapped inside the belly of a literary monster. As they contemplate their fate, they recount the story of Moby Dick, updating the novel’s epic examination of good, evil, fate and obsession.

Tickets are available from the box office.
