WHALE

This play by David Holman was directed by Ben Hennessy. It was based on a true story about how, for the first time, the US Navy and USSR Navy co-operated on an attempt to save the lives of a family of whales, which was stranded by ice in Arctic waters.

The show was the first large-scale production by WYD which placed an emphasis on the use of a set and costumes. It played to a very enthusiastic audience for one week in December 1990 at Garter Lane Arts Centre.
