Trivia
Moby Dick Rehearsed is a two-act drama by Orson Welles. The play was staged from June 16 to July 9, 1955, at the Duke of York's Theatre in London, in a production directed by Welles. Welles filmed approximately 75 minutes of the production, with the original cast, at the Hackney Empire and Scala Theatres in London. He hoped to sell the film to Omnibus, the United States television series which had presented his live performance of King Lear in 1953. He stopped shooting when he was disappointed in the results. The film is lost.
