Plexus Polaire: Moby Dick

In what is definitely the most eye-catching show at this year’s MimeLondon festival, French-Norwegian theatre company Plexus Polaire offers up a puppet-based stage version of Herman Melville’s whale-tastic magnum opus Moby Dick, including – thrillingly – ‘a whale-sized whale’. At 85 minutes long it a relatively light way to engage with one of the most famously impenetrable books in history, though expect at least some cetacean-based profundity.
