Moby Dick Show To Be Given By Philip Hanson Ashland - America's great est adventure story the sea and whaling will be presented at Southern Oregon college auditorium Thursday, May 28, at 8 p.m. when Philip Hanson , appean in his original the- . atrical creation, "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville. Proceeds ' of the performance will be directed toward a scholarship fund by SOC Players. Tickets are on sale at Swems in Med- . ford and The Mart, Ashland, and at tlx door. The story has been a favor- ., ite with lovers of adventure ' and sea stories. In recent ) years it has been termed ' America's greatest novel. Twice it was filmed, most re cently by John Houston and Gregory Peck as the mad Captain Ahab whose leg was devoured by the white whale Moby Dick. The story con , ccrns Ahab's hunt for the whale to strike revenge for his lost leg. True to the needs of dramatic action all of the familiar elements of the story : are included. Pagan suitors, ; cannibals, and the threat of : mutiny led by the Chief Mate, : Starbuck. In this unusual presentation : tile actor appears alone on ; stage with only a chair and ; a bench playing all of the ; characters - some 15 persons ; - creating a full effect of a ; dramatic play. The whole ; aura of sailing is captured by i the addition of familiar sea ! chanties which the actor sings j to the accompaniment of a ; small harp which he carries with him. ; When previewed at the ; University of Idaho, the pro ! duction was hailed as a major I theatrical achievement wor ! thy of exploration to world J drama festivals.
