By John Hewer
Based on the novel 'Moby-Dick' by Herman Melville
Directed by Bruce Knight
Maybe Dick is Hambledon Production’s new parody of Herman Melville's classic novel, Moby Dick. This hilariously funny one-man show, perfect for comedy fans, features John Hewer in an array of over eight distinct characters, each brought to life with flawless accents and comedic timing. Filled with silly humor, the show guarantees a good laugh whether or not you are familiar with the original story.
In this production, you will meet Captain Ahab, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Abraham Lincoln, Starbuck, who brings a variety of coffee to the captain, and Elijah, the ship’s oddball. Accompanying Hewer is his delightful seagull companion, Steven Seagull. John Hewer mentions, “The story-telling comes second to joke-telling, even though we’ve managed to stay pretty faithful to the book and the original characters.”
Maybe Dick is on a national tour, with one special performance at the Tabard Theatre on Sunday 9 July.
