Plot

The setting is a mid-19th Century American repertory theater. The play begins subtly as the audience arrives with the cast milling around an empty stage. The cast members generally fool around and complain about their boss and their forthcoming production of King Lear. Then, making a big dramatic entrance and smoking a cigar, the actor manager of the time comes onstage and tells them they are going to rehearse another piece, Moby Dick.

The cast grudgingly performs the play, improvising scenery from items lying around, and gradually get more into character as the play develops.
