This visually and verbally arresting piece was hailed as "fascinatingŠbrilliant, sexy" by The Boston Phoenix. Conceived and directed by visual artist Ellen Driscoll, poet Tom Sleigh, and choreographers Amy Spencer and Richard Colton, formerly with Twyla Tharpe Dance, Ahab¹s wife puts its title character at the helm of Melville¹s ship in a funny, yet profound examination of contemporary gender roles.
