Alpert Award-winner Rinde Eckert's tour de force performance draws the audience into the haunted world of Nathan, whose struggle against metal deterioration forces him to rely on a tape recorder worn around his neck, in place of a working memory, as his obsession with the opera becomes as total as Ahab's quiets for the white whale. Masterfully directed by David Schweizer and featuring the vocal magic of original cast member Nora Cole, these performances mark the return of the Eckert's seminal 2000 off-Broadway production, which prompted critic to cite such diverse references of Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett and Tom Waits.
