About Moby Dick: Rehearsed by Orson Welles:
An ingenious idea is employed to accommodate the sweep of this classic story on the stage. The members of a theater company put down their rehearsal sides of Shakespeare’s King Lear and curiously take up those of a new play entitled Moby Dick. On the rehearsal stage of platforms, the curtains overhead suddenly become yardarms with sails and a tall ladder becomes a mast. The platforms become the decks of the ship on which the cast sails through the storms and tribulations of the Pequod as they hunt for Moby Dick.
