WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
And God Created Great Whales is a haunting musical adventure that delves into the psyche of a composer who is trying to create an opera based on Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Desperately fighting against a disease that is eating away at his mind, he must rely on a tape recorder to remind him of yesterday's instructions to himself. Rinde Eckert displays his full creative force in this frenzied, funny, romantic, and moving play.

The unfortunate condition has afflicted him during the creation of what he plans as his grand opus, an opera adaptation of Herman Melville's novel, Moby-Dick.
