'Moby Dick' is an iconic story.
Adventure, revenge, madness, religion, the fury and majesty of nature. . . It's got it all. Plus a side of whaling.
Colin Lane and Frank Woodley (more affectionately known together, of course, as Lano & Woodley) are taking on this larger-than-life tale. Will Captain Ahab's hatred of his nemesis, Moby Dick, send them into total destruction?
Will Colin's long-held hatred of Frank end in the destruction of his 'dickhead nemesis'?
This love/hate relationship has fuelled countless ovations, awards, new fans and continued love and support from long-time followers.
“Col and I love creating theatrically ambitious Lano & Woodley shows,” Frank says. “For the last 18 months or so we’ve been working on our newest effort – 'Moby Dick'.”
“We’re using the classic tale of the demented Captain Ahab and his obsession with taking revenge on the whale that bit off his leg, as a springboard for Lano & Woodley to become entangled in their own crazy and hilarious conflict with each other. We can’t wait to smash a champagne bottle across its bow and launch the new show!”
“We are going try and convince you the show should be called 'Moby Dick' – by the end, you may think it’s more like 'Moby dickheads', Colin adds. “In the new show, an obsessed and maniacal captain tries desperately to maintain his dignity and achieve the ultimate revenge. It’s also a story about Moby Dick.”
