Project Ahab; or, Eye of the Whale
written by Gary Graves & directed by John Patrick Moore (2015)

The song Face East was composed for world premiere #48, a Central Works Method musical set in 1973, in the formative years of the ecology movement. Project Ahab converts Melville’s classic story of a man bent on killing a whale, to that of a man determined to stop the killing of whales; or, “Ahab goes after the whalers.” A musical exploration of the early days of Greenpeace.
