My overall impression

The beginning sets an eerie tone and leaves you feeling a little uncomfortable. As they ease you into a rendition of Moby Dick, Alex Bennett as Captain Ahab and Natasha Creger as Starbuck deliver stellar performances as they breath life into strong meaningful characters balancing good,evil and obsession. Making it very hard to choose a side. On a comedic note Chad W. Michael steals the show with his animated gestures and audience interaction. Now on to the polictial piece. While it did raise some important issues it seemed like an afterthought and didn’t fit well into the show. In closing Capt. Ahab and Starbuck bring it back and continue to raise emotions in one another as well as the audience. The cast as a whole worked extremely well with one another. Ishmaeal was definitely worth the watch.
