This February, Book-It Repertory Theatre is mounting a production of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," the greatest book you've ever learned piecemeal from Classics Illustrated comic books, Far Side strips, Starbucks promotional literature and "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan." Director David Quicksall has a sterling track record in similar adapatations; he's brought Don Quixote and Dracula to Book-It's stage, so Ahab, Ishmael and Queequeg can simply go about their jobs without worrying if this Pequod will hold water.
Tickets to "Moby Dick" are $35 for regular performances and $30 for midweek and matinee performanaces, which is just out of The Spellout's range. (Student admission, with ID, is only $15.) However, there are a handful of seats available for the $20 preview on February 13 - six, maybe seven - and you can see excerpts from the production absolutely free of charge at 7 p.m. tonight in the Microsoft Auditorium at the Seattle Central Library. Maybe now I'll be inspired to actually read the book ... I mean, you! Maybe you'll be inspired to read the book. You'd, um, better get on that. Yeah.
