Quotations

To devise a version of Moby Dick as a one-man theatre piece comes under the heading of 'They said it couldn't be done.' Jack Aranson has done it superbly. - TIME magazine

As Ahab, Mr Aranson takes on stature. He reaches up to confront the stars. His chest expands. His voice is a trumpet, roaring over the sound of the sea. His eyes glitter with frenzy. It is a brilliant performance. - Elloit Norton, Boston Herald American
